Mosaic Remediation Project
The
proposed project will include:
1.
The connection of the existing Giants Camp marina basin to a newly
constructed tidal creek canal. Connection
will be via open ditch and culverts as required to assure continued access to
the current limestone fill road that goes to the Fiddler’s
2.
Removal of accumulated sediment to the east of the culvert location in
order to facilitate water flows.
3.
Installation of 20 seawall reefs each 48” long x 32” high providing
approximately 110 CF of oyster reef and fish habitat.
Approximately 1 acre of habitat enhancement within the existing boat
basin would result.
4.
Construction of approximately 350 LF of east-west connector canal to the west of
the proposed culvert to link with the remnant historical tidal creek system that
is now largely closed to tidal flows.
5.
Reopening over 3,000 LF of tidal creeks to restore tidal creek habitat.
6.
Restoration of 1.1 acres of currently dead mangroves due to restriction
in tidal flow due to closure of existing tidal creeks by the historical
reduction in tidal prism flowing through tidal creeks.
With connection of these restored tidal creeks to the
7.
Enhancement of 10 acres of currently stressed mangroves with reduced fish
utilization due to tidal creek closure and mangrove die-offs.
8.
Mitigation for wetland impacts will be provided off-site.
These
improvements will increase the tidal flow to the adjacent mangrove forest
sufficient to restore the dead mangrove area, enhance the stressed mangrove area
and provide water quality treatment to flows from the
