Malibu Lagoon has been plagued for years by low oxygen levels caused by eutrophication and poor water circulation. In addition the vegetation became dominated by invasive species. A major restoration project aims to improve the quality of wetland's wildlife habitat and water quality by dredging sediment and replacing invasive plant's with native species.
