Dixon Bay Oil Spill
Dixon Bay Oil Spill
Restoration will include construction of a crevasse in the 'Birdfoot' Delta to create 25-50 acres of emergent estuarine wetlands. The newly created wetlands will allow sediment-laden water to flow out and allow sediments to drop out of suspension and create mudflats. Scirpus spp. and Sagittaria spp. are the predominant species present.
