Abstract:

Bodkin Island in the Chesapeake Bay will be increased by 2 hectares through placement of dredged material to create nesting and brood habitat for black ducks. The enlarged island will have uplands, and high and low marshes with intertidal channels and pools with submerged aquatic vegetation. The interdisciplinary planning and design study includes numerical model investigations, island design, vegetation selection, and planning for post-construction monitoring.
