Description

An overview of the marsh and the culvert that restricts water from flowing fromQuivett Creek into the marsh. The preferred restoration choice was to create anopen channel between the two sections of marsh but the homes in the foregroundwould have been impacted. Instead the culverts were enlarged. Part of theproject includes raising the abandoned roadway surface to provide flood control
