| 释义 |
Westpoint Slough is the largest of several sloughs feeding into Redwood Creek in San Mateo County, California, United States.[1] This slough is surrounded by extensive undisturbed marshlands including Greco Island, which forms its northern boundary. The channel of Westpoint Slough contains considerable mudflat areas; moreover, both the marshes and mudflats offer considerable habitat area for local and migratory wildlife, especially birds. Multinational corporation Cargill currently owns {{convert|1436|acre|mi2|sigfig=2}} of salt ponds adjacent to part of Westpoint Slough. Cargill, in conjunction with Arizona-based DMB Associates, has proposed a highly controversial development of 32,000 people and 12,000 houses on this open space. Pacific Shores Center[2] sits along Westpoint Slough, as does Westpoint Harbor, which is open to the public.[3] The Port of Redwood City, the City of Redwood City, and the Water Emergency Transit Authority are proposing to construct a commuter ferry terminal[4] along the slough.
