St. Joseph Bay State Buffer Preserve – Island Road

St. Joseph Bay State Buffer Preserve – Island Road / St. Andrew Bay Watershed / Gulf County / Legacy ID – UWRMP 5.4.16

This mitigation project will enhance the hydrologic regime of freshwater marsh at St. Joseph Bay State Buffer Preserve via installation of a low-water-crossing on Island Road.  Island road, a dirt road raised above natural grade and necessary for management access, disrupts natural hydrologic flows.  Implementation of this project will offset wetland impacts associated with FDOT improvements on SR 30E (Cape San Blas Road from SR 30A west to the Troy Deal Unit, St. Joseph Bay State Buffer Preserve).
