Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
The Nature Conservancy will be awarded $3,267,129 for the design, permitting, and implementation of eight projects within the floodplain of the Lower Roanoke River, collectively comprising 1,130 acres of floodplain habitat and more than 5 miles of reconnected river.
The effort will replace six undersized culverts with bridges and remove two earthen barriers. Removal of these barriers complements NOAA's efforts with upstream projects to rehydrate the floodplain. Restoration will greatly benefit blueback herring and other alosines directly and Atlantic sturgeon indirectly.
The projects will also provide climate and ecological resilience by reducing flooding and improving water quality in the watershed. Additionally, the projects will occur within economically disadvantaged, rural areas.
