The Carr Lake Project: Potential Biophysical Benefits of Conversion to a Multiple-Use Park

Abstract

"The Carr Lake Project aims to convert Carr Lakes 450 acres of agriculture fields into a regional multi-use park that will benefit flood protection, water quality, and wildlife habitat, while also providing additional recreational areas for the local community. The Project is represented by an informal consortium of interested parties including the Watershed Institute of California State University Monterey Bay, The City of Salinas, 1000 Friends of Carr Lake, and the Big Sur Land Trust."
