Develop design plans and secure permits for a network of marsh terrace ridges and perimeter breakwaters to restore at least 260 acres of marsh island and aquatic vegetation habitat that has historically provided both environment and flood reduction benefits to the surrounding community. Project will result in a community-supported, shovel-ready project that demonstrates the efficacy of the first-ever application of marsh terraces in the Mid-Atlantic region.
