Article abstract: From September 2013 to September 2015 SANDAG has provided funding to assist in the management and recovery of two federally listed species. Both the California Least Tern and Western Snowy Plover are listed species of birds who reside at D-Street during the breeding season of every year. While these species are primarily present only during the breeding season, managing the site is a year-round effort. USFWS and SDUPD manage the site in a somewhat artificial manner keying on the needs of these two species. The site itself is an artificial area created many years ago from the dredge spoils of the Sweetwater River as well as excess soil from Interstate 5 and State Route 54 construction activities. Funding provided allows us to continue managing the site.
