Elkhorn Slough is in Moss Landing, California. Moss Landing is surrounded by ocean so it is important that surrounding land is properly taken care of so that we avoid negative impact to the ocean. The problem this project was meant to solve is run-off from agricultural fields. Fertilizers and pesticides are used to help crops grow which is a benefit but when these products flow into surrounding rivers and creeks that lead into the ocean, we have a problem.
