The original extent of Ballona Wetlands likely ranged between 1,500 acres (6.1 km 2) [7] and 2,100 acres (8.5 km 2). [8] The wetlands can be roughly divided into five ecologically distinct areas: saltwater marsh (wetland fed by the ocean), freshwater marsh (wetland fed by creeks and streams), riparian corridor (creek bottomland), sand dunes and bluffs.

The Laguna, whose principal tributary streams rise on the southern slopes of the Sonoma and Mayacamas Mountains, [4] is the largest tributary of Mark West Creek.The sinuous watercourse and associated wetlands form a significant floodplain during the heavy winter rains, capable of storing over 80,000 acre-feet (99,000,000 m 3) of stormwater.
