The marsh mitigation plan is the only portion of the draft that may be of some benefit to the local environment.
Saltwater marshes are beautiful and resilient.
They host a wide range of plants and animals, and their productivity is only matched by coral reefs. However saltwater marshes also have nothing to do with the location, design, construction and capacity of the cooling water intake structure of power plants. There are many questions about the marsh mitigation plan and how it may benefit the local environment. Delgado said 24,000 acres of restored wetlands would only produce approximately 1 percent of the number of weakfish killed by the plant. Theoretical models are hypothetical, speculative and lack verification.
