Project Description
This project partially restored lost recreational opportunities through the enhancement of increased access to coastal estuarine habitats and wildlife viewing areas. The project enhanced the public’s use and/or enjoyment of natural resources by construction of an educational interpretive center, nature trails, fishing piers, boardwalks, and other recreational enhancements to enhance visitor access to the adjacent coastal estuarine environment and provide opportunities for visitors to fish, crab, and observe nature. Performance monitoring is now complete for this project.
