Advocate: Join our Conservation Committee!
The SDBA Conservation Committee is an active group of volunteers who are involved in taking action on many local, state, or federal issues that affect our wildlife communities including wind energy, wetland protection, climate change, wastewater/stormwater issues, and urban habitat protection. Committee members write comment letters on environmental documents, speak at City Council hearings, provide advice and/or support on policy issues, and more.
To join, contact sstallings@sandiegobirdalliance.org

King Tides
King Tides are the highest high tides of the year, each winter, we fet out to our shorelines and get this haunting preview of sea level rise, when our ocean and bays encroach on a lot of our habitats and infrastructure. See our King Tides timelapse here!
Save the Date! Love Your Wetlands Day is February 1st, 2025!
Come down to Kendall-Frost Marsh for this once-a-year event featuring family friendly activities like tours, Kumeyaay culture, clean ups, nest platforms, kayak tours, community and much more.

Past Events
City Council Meeting May 14th
The De Anza Natural Plan for the ReWild area was unanimously approved by the City at the May 14th Council meeting. It commits to 226 total acres of wetlands, including existing marsh, and it outlines the need for transitional infrastructure that prepares for marsh migration.
This was not all we asked for, and it was expressed many times that compromise is hard, but we would not be looking at 226 acres of restored marsh, 226 acres of new Ridgway’s Rail habitat, 226 acres of water filter infrastructure, 226 acres to rekindle culturally-critical customs, without the power of the ReWild Coalition. Countless individuals and 89 organizations and local businesses have shown up time and again to countless meetings, rallies, and Saturdays in the marsh to get us here.
Wandering the King Tides
Each year, we gather on the shores of Kendall-Frost Marsh to watch this phenomena occur, and give us a glimpse at our future with sea level rise. To read about this year’s event see here. To watch the time-lapse, view it here.
This year’s King Tides garnered significant media attention, covered by ABC10 News, SDToday, CBS8, and NBC San Diego.

We encourage you to get out to the ReWild area and walk and bike the paths in our public park. Bring your binoculars! The Blue Line Trolley is open, and a bus line goes very close to this corner of the Bay on Ingraham St.
