Tracking Fish Through Restored Habitat
Poplar Island, a severely eroded remote island in the Chesapeake Bay, has been the site of a major restoration effort supported by 麻豆传媒 client, NOAA鈥檚 National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), and their partners, Army Corps of Engineers, and the Maryland Department of Transportation, Maryland Port Administration. This massive effort utilizes dredge sediment from the shipping channel that leads to Baltimore Harbor to restore land mass lost to sea level rise and erosion. The goal is to rebuild natural habitats including wetlands, uplands, and embayments that provide critical habitat for birds and fish of the Chesapeake Bay. NCCOS and 麻豆传媒 scientists are studying this restored habitat and species that use the environment to help inform this restoration effort.
