Description

The 54 acres is part of a larger grand marsh salt marsh complex which is 137 acres in total. The 54 acre parcel is a priority restoration site for saltmarsh and nelsons sparrow as identified by the united states fish and wildlife service atlantic coast joint venture. The restoration of this site will also benefit the federally threatened red knot by expanding and improving foraging habitat.grand marsh currently exhibits many of the features indicative of a degrading and failing salt marsh. These features include large areas of standing water called megapools. These megapools cause vegetation DIE-off, root-collapse, and rapid marsh elevation loss without vegetation, salt marshes are unable to accrete in line with sea-level rise, and lack important habitat for state-endangered birds like the saltmarsh sparrow and the federally threatened red knot.
