"As sea levels rise, marshes should keep up with it, and so they can rise along with the sea levels, and they can continue providing those benefits decades out into the future,"
"Through this acquisition, the Hayward Regional Shoreline continues to evolve into a prime example of how wildlife habitat restoration,"
East Bay Regional Park District acquired 77 acres of Hayward Regional Shoreline from the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District to restore tidal marsh habitat and expand public access. Plans include opening the shoreline for the San Francisco Bay Trail and revitalizing tidal marshes that existed over a century ago before industrial salt ponds. Eighty-five percent of original tidal marshes have been lost to development and salt ponds. Industrial salt production transformed many marshes in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Marshes must be able to rise with sea level to sustain benefits for decades, and restoration must be executed safely.
