Description
Explore creation of pocket estuary at West Point. This area used to have some form of salt marsh that appeared to have allowed fish access. Currently there is a skinny, long, perched wetland between the bulkhead and the facility. Explore possibility to expand the length of this wetland (towards the lighthouse) and come up with a permanent engineering solution to allow fish access.
Opportunities, Constraints, and other Considerations
Site is currently not tidally influenced. A heavily engineered solution would be required to maintain such an estuary, but it is one of the few opportunities available.
