A podcast was recently completed by Your Wetlands: A project of the San Francisco Bay Joint Venture. Download and listen to audio programs about current work at Muir Beach.

Parks For Science - Redwood Creek Edition has been produced by the Pacific Coast Science and Learning Center, focusing on all of the research that went into the planning and design of the restoration.

Walking from the parking lot to the beach with your family can be an adventure if you've got the Muir Beach Quest. Solve the riddles and sort out the clues that are often in plain view and find the prize at the end. Available at the paking lot kiosk.

 

Muir Beach Restoration

The Muir Beach restoration is a landscape-level coastal restoration project designed to bring back natural function to the creek, freshwater wetlands, intermittent tidal lagoon and dunes over a 46-acre site at the mouth of one of the iconic watersheds in the Bay Area.

The project will also enhance visitor amenities at the parking lot and picnic area, create interpretive opportunities such as waysides and self-guided hikes, and improve regional trail links.

The combined actions will create a natural creek system, reconnect the floodplain over the entire site, improve the quality and quantity of Coho salmon and steelhead trout habitat, reduce flooding on Pacific Way and improve vehicular access along the road, and provide sustainable California red-legged frog habitat.
