Project Update 10-14-2025 

Construction of the 60 acres of marsh restoration was completed in April 2023. 87,000 marsh plants were planted in April and some 600 CY of recycled oyster shell from the Alabama Coastal Foundation recycling program were placed on the northern shoreline of the restored marsh to create more habitat. The marsh plants continue to grow to fill in the marsh mounds. The project was monitored by the Dauphin Island Sea Lab over three years (2023-2025). Funding was provided by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund.
