One of the largest coastal marsh restorations on the Atlantic Coast will be happening in Delaware. Hurricane Sandy resilience and recovery funding will be used rebuild about one mile of existing dunes and barrier beach on and adjacent to Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Restored marshes at the refuge will provide benefits to several adjacent communities, including Milton and Milford, and create additional habitat for birds such as rufa red knots, American oystercatchers, and piping plovers. The restored marsh will also improve the communities’ ability to withstand future storms and sea level rise, improve wildlife habitat, and improve beach access.
