One of only a handful of islands off the California coast, Año Nuevo Island is critical breeding habitat for seven seabird and four marine mammal species. California State Parks and Recreation manages Año Nuevo State Reserve and is working to conserve the island resources through collaborative partnerships.

The purpose of this restoration project is to design a habitat ridge to protect one-acre of bird habitat from trampling, and to design clay modules for bird nesting. Once the habitat has been successfully protected, a native plant community will be restored to reduce erosion and increase biodiversity on this unique island.
