Elkhorn Slough Named Wetland Of International Importance.

The designation comes from the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, so named for being signed in Ramsar, Iran in 1971. It recognizes globally-important wetlands.

To get it, a site must meet at least one of nine criteria. Those include things like supporting endangered species. Elkhorn Slough met all nine criteria.
