Project Description
The project was approved for invasive species management and ecological restoration. The approved
work is divided and managed within 3 zones; Zone 1 includes management of approximately
7,300 sqft of dense Phragmites, Zone 2 includes management of approximately 5,200 sqft of sporadic
Phragmites within marsh vegetation, Zone 3 includes management of approximately 10,100 sqft of
sporadic Phragmites within mixed invasive and native upland vegetation. The resource areas present
include salt marsh, bordering vegetated wetland, land subject to coastal storm flowage and associated
buffer zones.
Project Activities Completed during Assessment Period
May 30, 2024 – Assessment and treatment of Phragmites
September 10, 2024 – Assessment and treatment of Phragmites
December 12, 2024 – Site visit to assess invasive species management
Assessment of Current Site Conditions
During the field assessment, it was observed that the treatment strategies applied within the project
areas have been largely successful. Minimal re-sprouting of Phragmites was noted in all zones,
indicating that the control methods applied have been effective in suppressing the growth and spread
of this invasive species. Thus, emphasizing the importance of continuing follow-up treatments to
ensure long-term control of Phragmites within these areas.
Anticipated Activities to be Completed Next Monitoring Period
• Continuing maintenance visits to control Phragmites.
• Re-seeding areas with poor germination to enhance bank stability.
