 TITLE: A Natural Transformation
DESCRIPTION: Wetland habitats in the
United States have been severely impacted by human activity over
the last 150 years, to the point that only a small percentage
remain. Coastal wetlands in particular have been hit hard, resulting
in potential extinction of many unique plants and animals. Great
efforts are underway to conserve and restore remaining marsh
habitats.
A Natural Transformation
is a 30 minute video documentary that presents the story of the
creation of the Tijuana Estuary Model Marsh, a 20 acre restoration/research
project located in the Tijuana Estuary Reserve in Southern California.
As excavation takes place interviews with biologists, planners
and community activists present the many issues involved with
a restoration project of this size, including: Loss of Wetlands,
History of Local Land Use, Planning and Engineering
Site Selection, Surveying and Excavation, Revegetation and Natural
Species Colonization
