This Malibu Lagoon tour took place on Thanksgiving weekend, 2011. Authorities have substantiated statements made in this video. This lagoon is severely impaired and as a result has many areas that have depleted oxygen. Non-native plants grow wild and invade native plants. In 2012, after 11 years of preparation, a plan to restore and enhance the wildlife habitat will take place. The purpose of this video is to show you the current conditions and point out the areas of concern.
