Aerial view of the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge marshlands - 2016

Hurricane Sandy severely damaged coastal marsh areas at Long Island refuges after neighboring barrier islands were breached by storm surge. This aerial view of the visitor center and surrounding area begins to document improved marsh restoration methods tested at the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge from 2004-2013. Restoring natural tidal channels significantly reduce the prevalence of invasive reed species. and improved marsh health will strengthen shorelines and reduce mosquito production.

Beginning November 2016 new restoration activity will include digging ditches and filling them with coir logs while also digging new channels.

An aerial view is a good perspective of a snapshot in time as improved marsh restoration continues.
