Dollar Bay Shoreline Protection and Wetland Restoration - Phase II

Project Description

This project is comprised of completing final engineering and design and construction of up to 3,500 feet of nearshore breakwaters along eroding Dollar Bay shoreline. Smooth cordgrass plantings occured behind the breakwaters upon completion to help restore up to five acres of intertidal marsh complex and protect approximately 85 acres of upland coastal habitat. Most of the protected acres would be part of the recently acquired Dollar Bay tract.
