The Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority last month received a $31.8 million grant from the California Coastal Commission that will eventually help fund the restoration of 54 acres of wetlands. The plan is part of the first phase of the Southern Los Cerritos Wetlands Restoration Project's effort to restore 103.5 acres of the wetlands in Seal Beach and Long Beach —as much of California's historical wetlands have been lost . In its first phase, the project will be focused on flood management, planting vegetation and building paths for public access on the edge of the wetlands, according to Tidal Influence Principal Restoration Ecologist Eric Zahn, who manages the project.
