Type: Partnership · Technology: Water Waste · Country: United States · Announced: 2026-04-15

Google launched a wetland restoration project at Pond A1 near its Mountain View campus in California, partnering with the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project and Ducks Unlimited. The initiative aims to restore a degraded salt pond into a thriving ecosystem, addressing decades of industrial salt production impacts on water quality and biodiversity. The project will serve as a test bed for novel carbon removal approaches through reforestation and wetland restoration, with academic researchers from California-based institutions involved. Located adjacent to Google's 2022-opened Mountain View campus, the restoration effort targets ecological revival while benefiting local communities and wildlife. The company has previously committed $50 million through 2030 to support super pollutant removal and signed carbon removal deals with Vaulted Deep and Mombak.
