Beach Restoration Project(s) Update

Capers,

We hope you had a safe and healthy holiday week with family & friends.

We wanted to take a moment a give a brief update on our Beach Restoration efforts as we shift focus on sites for the next couple of weeks.

At Main Beach, or Site 1, we will be cleaning up as we have completed dredge activities of the Little Magothy Channel and first phase replenishment activities along Main Beach shoreline. You will see some clean up, grading and removal of the turbidity curtain over the next couple days.

At Lake Claire Beach, Site 2, will begin staging operations and begin installation of oyster reef balls/root wads tomorrow hopefully.

Work at Site 2 will also include the installation of the vinyl sheet batten board bulkhead along the east side the boating pier over the next two weeks or so.

Please keep in mind, both sites are considered active construction sites, remain out of any areas marked, fenced in and off any equipment.

If you are out in the water, please remain at least 300ft from any moored barges or working barges for safety and navigational purposes. Especially kayaks, canoes and paddle boarders who may be trying to get an up close look, we have had some close calls and need to heed safety first.

After the New Year, we will post an update to the next phase of Main Beach restoration activities scheduled to be completed in January. Information on the project can be found here: https://cscia.org/cape-st-claire/beach-restoration-project/

Thanks for your patience while we work to improve the local habitat & resiliency of our watershed in Magothy & Chesapeake Bay.
