Project Overview

The goal of this project is to restore historical salt marsh in the lagoon, while also addressing sediment, trash, invasive species, and flood attenuation. It also includes freshwater management to improve the sustainability of the restoration and overall health of the lagoon.  Phase 1 of the project restores the area southwest of the railroad berm and provides guidance for restoration planned under Phase 2 using an adaptive management approach.  Phase 1 scope includes floodplain enhancements, improved storm drain infrastructure, and restoration of approximately 50 acres of salt marsh.
