BOLSA CHICA CONSERVANCY

The Bolsa Chica Conservancy (BCC) was established in 1990 by a coalition of government, community, business and environmental leaders. The BCC opened the only wetlands interpretive center in the region in 1994, where they continue to operate today.

The BCC is dedicated to community involvement and hands-on education in coastal ecology, wetland science, watersheds and environmental conservation. Over the last twenty-six years, the BCC has been a leader in providing science-based education and habitat restoration services that increase public awareness and understanding of coastal resources, watersheds and environmental conservation.

The BCC has also grown consistently, now employing 6 full-time staff equivalents including Biologists, Restoration and Education Specialists. The BCC is also supported by a dedicated team of staff volunteers who help implement programs. Volunteers include: Engineers, Military Veterans, Medical Doctors, Geologists, Biologists, Professors, Research Scientists, Naturalists, and many others in STEM disciplines.
