The Bolsa Chica Wetland is about 1200 acres of coastal wetland on the coast of Orange County, California and near the city of Huntington Beach. Most of the wetland is publicly owned and in 2004 about 600 acres were restored. Prior to 1900 the Bolsa Chica was a fully functioning estuary. Then in 1940 it became an oil field and its wetland character was almost totally destroyed, Privately owned, it was planned to become a massive marina complex in the 1970s but an environmental organization called the Amigos de Bolsa Chica lobbied the state to purchase the wetland and finally in 1997 the state did acquire it. Bolsa Chica is now designated as a state ecological reserve and one of the best birding spots in Southern California. Over 200 species of birds have been sighted in the Bolsa Chica during various times of the year. The best time to see birds in the Bolsa Chica is between November and March, but there are many to be seen at any time. Having a newly restored direct inlet from the ocean, the Bolsa Chica wetland is also a spawning, foraging and nursery habitat for a number of fish, including California halibut, stripped bass, white sea bass, stripped mullet, smelt, round sting rays, kelp bass, surf perch and diamond turbot.
