Goat Island Tidal Marsh Restoration and Public Access Project

The California Coastal Conservancy has determined to approve grant funding for the Goat Island Tidal Marsh Restoration and Public Access Project at Rush Ranch in Solano County, focusing on the restoration and enhancement of 89 acres of tidal marsh, transition-zone, and seasonal wetland habitats. This project aims to restore ecological function and resilience to these sensitive coastal ecosystems, supporting biodiversity and natural resource conservation. Concurrently, improvements will be made to 1.36 miles of trails and related amenities to expand public access and recreational opportunities while ensuring alignment with environmental protection goals. The project is administered by Solano County under the oversight of the California Coastal Conservancy, with Alexis Barrera serving as the project manager and primary point of contact. The notice was posted on June 22, 2026, indicating the formal determination of funding approval, though the solicitation is presented as a forecast rather than an active procurement. The initiative does not specify a NAICS code or set-aside classification, and all work is to be performed within California, emphasizing local ecological and community benefits through coordinated habitat and infrastructure upgrades.
