CA 3. Bodega Head Marsh. Acreage: 80. 



Location: Sonoma County; Bodega Head Quadrangle; one mile SW of Bodega 

 Bay; reached via Rt. 1 . 



Description: Although located close to the Goast, this area is essentially a fresh- 

 water marsh and pond area, brackish in places, separated from direct oceanic 

 influence by sand dunes on Bodega Head. Shallow water areas, overgrown by 

 Txpha latifolia as well as T. domingensis, Sparganium eurycarpum, Scirpus ru- 

 biginosus, Polygonum cocci neum, etc., are surrounded by sedge bogs. Among the 

 plants growing at this site which are rare in the state, Care.x comosa and Hippuris 

 vulgaris may be mentioned.
