YOUTUBE FLY-OVER MARINA DEL REY AND BALLONA WETLANDS.

Note: As our webmaster and I created this fly-over, I had a new appreciation for the nexus between Marina del Rey and the Ballona Wetlands. Wildlife that inhabit both areas fly back and forth foraging, feeding, resting, and giving birth to their young. Tall Trees that are threatened by chainsaws play a big role in this chain of life.
