The Caminada Headland restoration project aims to address severe coastal erosion, averaging 45 feet per year, and protect critical habitats essential for migratory birds. The project focuses on reducing wave energy and saltwater intrusion, while providing sediment sources necessary for sustaining barrier breaches. The meeting held by the Governor's Advisory Commission on Coastal Protection detailed various project options, including fill template options and conveyance corridors, along with a comprehensive project schedule from May 2011 through April 2012.
