Natural Resources

MCI-WEST MCB Camp Pendleton (Camp Pendleton, Base) is a premier amphibious training Base which is home to 19 federally listed species.  Integral to the success of military mission aboard Camp Pendleton is maintaining and protecting natural resources.  The Base has successfully implemented the installation’s Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan by close coordination and collaboration with Base operators, federal and California state agencies, and the regional scientific community. Camp Pendleton’s Wildlife Management Section oversees management of 12 federally protected species of mammal, bird, amphibian and fish on Base, as well as many other sensitive species of various taxa. These species are distributed widely over approximately 125,000 acres of largely undeveloped training land in Southern California, including 17 miles of shoreline, three major watersheds and coastal foothills with elevations up to 3,000 feet above sea level.
