Master Plan - 2023
This 68-page Master Plan for the Ash Creek Estuary describes the ecological collapse now in progress, an explanation of what is happening, and what can be done. Report created by One Nature LLC.
Sand Spit Analysis - 2021
Concerned about the significant amount of erosion on the sand spit, ACCA commissioned a scientific ecological analysis to determine how much erosion had occurred and the implications of that erosion for the health of the tidal estuary. The results were shocking. We found out that the sand spit would disappear in 15 years or less at the current rate of erosion.
Restoration Plan - 2014
In 2014, ACCA hired Bryan Quinn of One Nature, LLC to create a shovel ready plan to enable the Town of Fairfield and the City of Bridgeport to go after grants to restore the sand spit after the damage by Irene and Sandy. The municipalities met and agreed to the plan, but it was never implemented. This plan needs to be updated to reflect the current conditions.
Master Plan - 2012
ACCA hired Bryan Quinn of One Nature, LLC and Dr. Steve Danzer to create a master plan of conservation for the Ash Creek tidal estuary. We continue to implement this plan almost ten years later.
