Port Clinton Coastal Wetland Restoration
Buffalo District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, partnered with the city of Port Clinton to restore 12 acres of Lake Erie coastal habitat. Invasive species treatment targeting phragmites was applied across the entire 12.2-acre wetland and beach complex. In addition, 4.6 acres of the existing wetland was restored with native plant species and microtopography, and another 1.4 acres of coastal wetland were created through excavation. This project was completed in 2024. This project improves biodiversity and provides coastal habitat for migratory birds, amphibians, and other aquatic organisms.
