Newland Marsh The 49-acre Newland Marsh is located along Beach Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway, and extends behind a mobile home park all the way to Newland Street. The property is currently owned by CalTrans, but the Conservancy is actively negotiating with them to acquire the property. The acquisition should be completed in 2020. Following acquisition, it would require about 4 -5 years to secure the necessary funds, prepare the engineering, plans & specifications and complete the restoration.
Talbert Marsh offers the public a multipurpose trail on approximately 25 acres from Brookhurst Street to the Santa Ana River Trail and is owned in total by the Conservancy. Around 90 species of birds have been observed at Talbert Marsh and the other adjoining Huntington Beach wetlands. In addition to year round residents, thousands of birds use the Huntington wetlands as a rest stop during their long migrations along the Pacific flyway from their nesting grounds in the Arctic to their wintering grounds in South America.
Throughout most of the year, the water in the marsh is seawater from the ocean inlet located at Talbert Marsh. Water flows in and out twice a day with the tide and can rise and fall as much as 8 feet. Fresh water also washes down storm water channels during winter rains.
