Exciting news from the Otay River Estuary Restoration Project!
On February 12, 2025, tidal flow returned to the South San Diego Bay wetlands for the first time in 100 years with the breaching of Pond 15. Channelside Water Resources and project partners, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the San Diego County Water Authority, celebrated this major milestone and the successful completion of the earthwork phase.
