The De Anza Natural plan would also maintain space for camping and other recreational activities in the northeast corner of Mission Bay Park.
The San Diego City Council on Tuesday voted to adopt a land use plan that would restore 143 acres of tidal wetlands in De Anza Cove in the northeast corner of Mission Bay Park.
Starting in the 1940s, humans drastically altered the landscape of Mission Bay, dredging up sand and silt to deepen the waters and create more sandy beaches and parkland. The results have been good for tourism and recreation but disastrous for the environment, leaving the water teeming with harmful bacteria and toxic pollutants such as copper and lead.
The precise amount of land dedicated to golfing versus other active uses has not yet been decided. Land dedicated to camping would be reduced from 62 to 48.5 acres — though the number of campsites could stay the same if the city replaces recreational vehicle parking spots with smaller tent sites.
