The Refugio Creek Mouth restoration project is located at the mouth of the creek at Refugio State Beach, on State Parks property. The goal of the project is to increase the habitat and ecological value of the mouth of Refugio Creek by removing non-native flora and through the planting of native flora along the banks. The project will allow volunteers and visitors of the State Beach to learn about habitat restoration and the importance of the Refugio Creek Watershed.

King Tides at Refugio

Photos taken on January 30th out at the Refugio project site show King Tides flowing over the sand berm and inundating the creek mouth and a few of our Marsh Baccharis. A few minutes later the sand berm breached and water levels rapidly receded.
