The Liberty Island Conservation Bank (LICB) is a 186-acre restoration project focused on tidal aquatic habitat suitable for special-status fish species. The LICB is a collaborative effort between Wildlands, California Department of Fish and Game, National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and is mitigating permitted impacts to fisheries habitat throughout the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. The Bank is protected with a permanent conservation easement and a non-wasting long-term endowment to manage the property in perpetuity. The Liberty Island area of the Delta is prime spawning and rearing area for native Delta fish including salmon, delta smelt, and longfin smelt. LICB is located within critical habitat designated for delta smelt, Chinook salmon, and steelhead. (May include a boat tour).
