Please complete this survey to help us better understand the environment, communities, and industries that are impacted by the Elkhorn Slough. It contains 13 questions and will take about 2-5 minutes to complete.

This survey is part of the Highway 1 Elkhorn Slough Corridor Resiliency Project and is intended to gather community input to inform potential solutions for addressing flooding risks and sea level rise in the Elkhorn Slough corridor. The Elkhorn Slough is one of California’s most ecologically significant wetlands, supporting nearly 2,700 acres of intact habitat for hundreds of aquatic birds, fish, marine mammal, and invertebrate species. However, sea level rise and extreme weather events pose an imminent threat to both the sensitive habitats within the Slough and the surrounding built environment.

To address these challenges, the Project builds on earlier Highway 1 climate planning to explore long-term solutions that reduce flooding, protect natural habitats, and keep key transportation routes safe and reliable. "The corridor" refers to five miles of Union Pacific Railroad tracks that run through Elkhorn Slough and an eight-mile stretch of Highway 1 from Salinas Road to the Castroville Hwy 156 interchange.
