Project Description

The project includes construction of a new educational and interactive boardwalk, expansion of an existing intertidal oyster reef, and restoration of a degraded salt marsh. New sidewalks will connect existing parking access to the boardwalk. Due to the inability to attain sufficient access agreements from private property owners, the project was revised to be implemented only on city property.
