Shamrock Island Protection and Habitat Enhancement Phase II

Summary

The project provides for the placement of three offshore rock breakwaters totaling an approximate 915 linear feet along the southwest side of the island.  This will compliment both on-going and adjacent restoration work now being undertaken by the Nature Conservancy, as well as, enhancing previous restoration efforts.  All of which are aimed at protecting the island’s eroding shorelines and providing enhanced habitat restoration for nesting birds and marine-dependent species.
