The primary purpose of the proposed Project is
to reestablish riparian strand, freshwater marsh,
and aquatic habitat communities and reconnect
the River to major tributaries, its historic
floodplain, and the significant ecological
areas of the Santa Monica Mountains, San
Gabriel Mountains, Elysian Hills, and Verdugo
Mountains. Figure E shows the potential for
regional habitat and wildlife connectivity by
improving connections between the River and
these significant ecological areas.
