The first 300 feet of fish passage are complete and regraded to pre-Sandy conditions. The knife gate and stop logs are installed on the pond side of the culvert, and construction continues towards the ocean. By the end of day on March 16 more than 400 feet of culvert sections will be in the ground. Site contractor Simpson and Brown plan reach 470 feet before they have to stop work on April 7 for Piping Plover nesting season. A Plover monitor will be on-site until that date to ensure work doesn’t encroach on any birds that get an early start on nesting. Outreach for the project continued with Habitat Restoration Coordinator Jenna Krug and USFWS Project Biologist Katie Conrad making a presentation about the project on Monday, March 14 at the Society of Ecological Restoration Mid-Atlantic Chapter. Also, plans have been made for local high school students to make field trips to the Wreck Pond site in April and May. Check back weekly for more information.
