The document presents a conceptual plan for restoring the Sunset Cove Salt Marsh and Coastal Upland area. The plan includes removing contaminated fill, placing clean sand to create new tidal habitats like low and high marsh, and restoring maritime forest and grassland upland areas. Trails and overlooks will be constructed for public access. The estimated budget for Phase 1 is $6.5 million from funding sources. Phase 2 will include constructing an oyster habitat and boardwalk for $500,000 from additional funding. Diagrams show the proposed layout and features of the restored area.
