Land Use Ecological Services and Inter-Fluve, Inc. have partnered for this Suffolk County project for development of conceptual restoration plans for five projects within the County. Restoration projects include Moore’s Drain/Silver Lake Alewife Access, Ligonee Brook Diadromous Fish Passage Restoration, Napeague Harbor Circulation Enhancement, Shell Beach Revegetation, and Forge Road/Peconic Lake Diadromous Fish Passage Restoration. Restoration efforts shall focus on evaluation of historic conditions using aerial photography, navigation charts, and local knowledge; evaluation of existing conditions, including bathymetry, barriers to fish passage, and vegetation inventory; and development of conceptual restoration plans and recommendations that may include removal of man-made alterations and debris, dredging, construction of fish passage structures, and/or revegetation with native species. This project is currently in the planning phase, with data collection expected to begin in the spring of 2012.

Long Island Wetlands Trends Analysis and Wetlands Loss Characterization Matrix Project.

Land Use Ecological Services is responsible for field reconnaissance and groundtruthing components of the New York State tidal wetlands mapping project, application of a methodology for characterization of wetlands from infrared aerial imagery, assisting with photointerpretation of infrared aerial imagery, and directing the development of a matrix aimed at researching and identifying the causes of marsh loss in New York State’s estuaries. Data collection began in the late fall of 2011 for this project.
