Battle over Bolsa Chica marshland not over yet

Re “Bolsa Chica Project May Get Extra Aid,” Aug. 24

I must take umbrage with your conclusion that “the Bolsa Chica restoration marks the last chapter of a decades-long battle over the marshland.” There are still 50 acres of Bolsa Chica owned by Shea Homes that are threatened by houses. A Huntington Beach resident owns another six acres that are home to a sacred Indian site and a World War II bunker, which also might be paved over. And don’t forget that the sale of the lower Bolsa Chica Mesa has not yet been completed.

I am on the board of directors of the Bolsa Chica Land Trust, and anyone who wants more information about preserving Bolsa Chica should visit www.bolsachicalandtrust.org.
