Moss Landing

Moss Landing lies along Monterey Bay at the mouth of Elkhorn Slough, where tidal marshes and channels meet the open Pacific on California’s central coast. The Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve protects part of this important coastal wetland, a habitat for shorebirds, sea otters and other wildlife. The working Moss Landing Harbor reflects a long commercial-fishing tradition, while Moss Landing Marine Laboratories gives the settlement an important role in marine science and university teaching. Beaches, wetlands and a compact harbor district create a distinctly maritime setting, unlike the urban pace of nearby Monterey and Santa Cruz.
