Buffalo District
Published Jan. 11, 2024

This study will determine feasibility for ecosystem restoration using sediment dredged from the federal navigation channel in Fairport Harbor, Ohio. Alternatives for the establishment of near shore and/or coastal marshland aquatic habitat will be studied for the purpose of improving Lake Erie coastal fish and wildlife habitat.  Near shore and coastal wetland habitat types considered in alternatives during this feasibility study are rare on Lake Erie, with only 5% of the historic extent remaining due to agriculture and urban development.
