Restricted to coastal San Diego County, Maritime Succulent Scrub is one of three associations comprising the Sage Scrub mosaic of southern and central California. California’s rare Maritime Succulent Scrub community and ecosystem in coastal San Diego is the northern tip of the range, extending south through the Baja Peninsula. In Southern California, Maritime Succulent Scrub intermingles with two other extremely rare coastal ecosystems on the marine terraces: Maritime Chaparral, and Torrey Pine Woodland.
