Watershed: The total area above a given point on a watercourse which contributes water to the flow of the watercourse; the entire region drained by a watercourse.
Wave Run-up: The distance or extent that water from a breaking wave will extend up a beach or structure.
Wetland: The Coastal Act defines wetland as land which may be covered periodically or permanently with shallow water and includes saltwater marshes, freshwater marshes, open or closed brackish water marshes,

PACIFICA LOCAL COASTAL LAND USE PLAN – REVISED CERTIFICATION DRAFT, AUGUST 2024 OCTOBER 2023 G-12
mudflats, and fens. The California Code of Regulations further defines wetland as land where the water table is at, near, or above the land surface long enough to promote the formation of hydric soils or to support the growth of hydrophytes, and shall also include those types of wetlands where vegetation is lacking and soil is poorly developed or absent as a result of frequent and drastic fluctuations of surface water levels, wave action, water flow, turbidity or high concentrations of salts or other substances in the substrate.
Wildlife Movement Corridor: Wildlife movement corridors link areas of suitable habitat that are otherwise separated by barriers such as rugged terrain, changes in vegetation, or areas of human disturbance or development, allowing wildlife to access additional areas with food, water, and other resources.
