Two salt marsh island restoration projects, located in Jamaica Bay, Brooklyn, New York, are proposed for construction. The two islands are Elders Point West Marsh Island and Yellow Bar Hassock Marsh Island. The marsh island projects would be bid separately and each involve grading of approximately 200,000 cubic yards of stockpiled sediment to restore 29 acres of salt marsh.
