Mori Point and Climate Change

Mori Point provides important habitat for the threatened red-legged frogs.
To preserve this species, artificial ponds were created at Mori Point to increase habitat for the frogs and snakes. Like Rodeo Lagoon, rising sea levels may allow salt water to intrude into these ponds and harm the rare species. Rising temperatures may also promote invasive plant and animal species and lead to the demise of the frogs and snakes.
