These cameras will help park managers better understand the populations of mammals in Crystal Cove State Park, including number of individuals and reproduction, and how animals like bobcats and white-tailed deer are currently using and moving through the park. - Lana Nguyen, California State Parks Environmental Scientist
Crystal Cove Critter CamsAbout Crystal Cove Critter Cams
Native habitats in Southern California have been heavily impacted by human use, and open spaces like Crystal Cove State Park are often diminished and fragmented by urban development. Because we are cut off from most other large open spaces in Southern California, we want to know if Crystal Cove State Park is providing adequate space and suitable habitat to support a healthy population of larger mammal species such as coyotes, deer, and bobcats. Identify the species in camera trap photos to help us find out!
