DESCRIPTION
Submitted for funding in 2007 but landowner then decided not to pursue project.
*******************
Re-creation of a salt marsh where currently there are two fresh water farm pond impounded by perched culverts. The project will improve fish passage and rearing habitat.
One acre of salt marsh will be re-created where currently there are two fresh water farm ponds impounded by perched culverts. The dig-out of the current ponds and ditches will bring the tidal prism far up the stream and re-align a couple of ineffective culverts. The project will improve fish passage and access to prey resources and rearing habitat in 500 feet of stream. Some work is progressing on this project but additional funding is necessary to move it to completion.
Project is now on hold indefinitely.
