Project Update

Construction of the living shoreline has been completed! We are now moving into our monitoring stage. Thanks to the help of volunteers and community members there are 1250 plants within the vegetated bank and tidal marsh of the living shoreline. Research will continue to be conducted to measure the impacts of this natural infrastructure, the results of which will be compiled into a report in 2023.

It is crucial that the plants, vegetated bank, and tidal marsh are not disturbed, especially while they are still establishing their root systems. We ask that visitors to the site respect the work that has been done and stay off of the natural infrastructure as the plants are particularly sensitive right now.
