World Prodigy Grounding - Sachuest Salt Marsh Restoration
A baseline ecological assessment of the Sachuest Point salt marsh was done in 1997 after the World Prodigy oil spill to assess injury and implement restoration planning. Monitoring of tidal flux, fish and bird use, and vegetation characteristics began in summer 1998 and will continue through 2008. Construction and restoration at the Sachuest Point Salt Marsh was completed in March 1999.
