Ballona Wetlands Freshwater Marsh
In a multi-year study, CURes is working with the Ballona Wetlands Conservancy on research in the Ballona Wetlands Freshwater Marsh to better understand the habitat and how it integrates with urban life in Los Angeles. Topics of study include mosquito populations, hydrology, water quality, and vector control. CURes is also the convener of the Conservancy's Academic Science Advisory Committee (ASAC), which brings together wetlands experts from throughout California to provide scientific guidance on the challenges and opportunities facing a heavily managed urban freshwater marsh.
