The goal of this project was to research, identify, and recommend solutions to mitigate the effects of continued flooding and erosion on Eel Point Road (EPR) on Linda Loring Nature Foundation (LLNF) property. We assessed and documented EPR conditions, identified EPR users, and surveyed and interviewed key personnel. Then, we integrated our research with pre-existing data from the LLNF and recommended both near- and long-term solutions for flooding and erosion control to the LLNF. We determined that regular maintenance is required in identified problem areas on EPR.
