Eastern Neck Wildlife Refuge

Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge is a 2,285-acre stopover area for migratory and wintering waterfowl at the mouth of the Chester River on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

Since 2000, the Aquarium partnering with the FWS, the ACOE, and the Friends of Eastern Neck have restored four acres of wetlands demonstrating the beneficial use of dredge material. The wetland is progressing well toward a natural marsh function.

Topographic monitoring has revealed some loss of material along the seaward edge of the site and some gain in elevation toward the back of the site, resulting in some loss of plants at the edge and burial of plants in the region of material gain.

Due to hazardous work conditions associated with marsh waterfront features, the minimum age for restoration programs is 10 years.
