Mitigation / Restoration

Effective Navigation

From design to implementation

MBC biologists are actively involved in the design and implementation of mitigation and restoration programs. These programs involved extensive planning, field, and laboratory work, as well as data analysis to document the success or failure of these programs. The restoration requirements, procedures, results and recommendations, and the impacts of restoration upon resident biota were detailed in cooperation with the National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Army Corps of Engineers, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the California Coastal Commission.
