Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Purpose: The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources will design and implement the construction of a project to protect an eroding marsh ecosystem at Ragged Island Wildlife Management Area with a series of low breakwaters and associated living shoreline.
This project will positively impact at least 5,769 feet of shoreline, protect over 1,500 acres of natural marsh, and create 2.58 acres of new marsh in the backfill area between breakwaters and marsh edge.
The design also includes adding oyster reefs to each breakwater, resulting in 2.16 acres of restored oyster habitat and fisheries habitat for species associated with oyster reefs.
