  • FACT SHEET - Cedar Beach Creek Habitat Restoration Project, Suffolk County, NY

    DESCRIPTION: The Cedar Beach Creek Habitat Restoration Demonstration Project will restore local essential ecosystem functions in the degraded marsh system. Since 1930, significant marsh loss and degradation from erosion and past filling activities has occurred. Completion of this project will greatly enhance the 65-acre marsh and beach complex at Cedar Beach Creek. The project plans to restore 4.75 acres of salt marsh (4.25 acres of low marsh and 0.5 acres of high marsh) through the beneficial use of clean dredged material, create new oyster reefs, create 2 acres of new seagrass meadow and improve 3 acres of new open water habitat through increased/improved flushing. The Project Grantee, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County, will implement this project with the New York District, in coordination with the Suffolk County Parks and the Peconic Estuary Program to improve this 65-acre marsh, beach, and open water mosaic. This project will establish and enhance three critical marine habitats in the Peconic Estuary which is an EPA designated "Estuary of National Significance." AUTHORIZATION: Estuary Restoration Act of 2000, Title I of Public Law 106-457 of the Estuaries and Clean Waters Act of 2000, as amended (33 U.S.C. 2901).
