The city needs to demonstrate how they plan to restore 315 acres of mudflats to upland habitat.
With Wildest, ReWild Mission Bay has demonstrated the opportunity to restore and improve Mission Bay Park into a world-class ecological, educational, and recreational asset.
Join our friends with San Diego Audubon and the UC San Diego Natural Reserve System to “Wander the Wetlands” at Kendall-Frost.

Why Are Wetlands Important?
The wetland areas in Mission Bay are vitally important, as wetlands like the Kendall-Frost Marsh Reserve provide wildlife and humans with critical services that can’t be replicated by other land types. Learn why wetlands are so important to us here in San Diego.
Increasing development surrounding Kendall-Frost Marsh poses a risk to San Diego’s ability to adapt to rising sea levels.
For decades, development in Mission Bay has degraded San Diego’s natural resources around Rose Creek. The ReWild “Wildest” proposal will reverse this trend through wetland restoration.
San Diego’s indigenous people, the Kumeyaay, inhabited the Mission Bay area for years before they were pushed off their traditional lands. With their presence, community, and partnership, we have the opportunity to salvage and restore a small portion of the original wetland in Mission Bay and revitalize historic Native American land.
Additional wetland acreage will make Kendall-Frost Marsh healthier and enhance wildlife habitat, and according to UCSD data will have a positive financial impact on the city.
San Diegans’ interest in the preservation and restoration of wetland ecosystems and accessible public lands like Mission Bay is clear.
