The Lower Salinas Watershed drains into the Salinas River Lagoon and includes Blanco Drain, Toro Creek, Quail Creek, Chualar Creek and other tributaries of the Salinas River.

The Lagoon

The Salinas River Lagoon is managed for flood control, as the lagoon is surrounded by agricultural lands and a small colony of houses in the dunes[1].


The breached sandbar at the mouth of the lagoon discharges inflow from the Salinas Lagoon directly into Monterey Bay.
