Summary edit

Description

The Muddy Creek project site is a tidally-restricted estuary with fringing degraded tidal marshes. The project enhances coastal natural defenses against storm surge by restoring a mix of estuarine and subtidal wetlands, improving water quality and restoring passage for fish that migrate between fresh and saltwater. Restoration actions included the removal of twin undersized stone culverts and replacing them with a 94-foot span bridge and open channel.
