Sonoma County
The Coastal Access and Resource Protection area in Sonoma County highlights the importance of protecting this regional and state resource, while ensuring that residents and visitors have access to it. Sonoma County has four major rivers that empty into the Pacific Ocean along its coast. These marine estuaries act as transition zones between fresh and salt water environments, providing a specific type of habitat for the species that depend on it. The wide mouths of the creeks and rivers that convene at the coast offer recreational opportunities that include wildlife viewing. Protection of this resource would ensure the viability of the area’s ecological systems and the continued opportunity for future generations to enjoy this resource.
