Monitored by the Department of Marine Resources Coastal Preserves Program. The State will manage the area as a coastal preserve for conservation purposes to protect ecological integrity of tidal marsh. The DMR will have direct responsibility. Much of the property is considered tidal wetlands and owned by the State. To the south are two fairly large failed residential subdivisions.
Roads are cut, utilities are in place, but very few houses are built.
Oyster beds have been closed by the DMR due to septic tank contamination and limited flushing action of bay. Increase of residential home construction without tie in to city sewer system could have adverse impact on bay. Could also result in increased sediment loading.
