The Statement of Work (SOW) outlines a collaborative project focused on salt marsh restoration at the William Floyd Estate, part of the Fire Island National Seashore. This initiative addresses significant issues of waterlogging and oxidation subsidence that contribute to marsh loss and flooding of nesting habitats.

The project encompasses various tasks including conducting a workshop, creating detailed reports, and performing marsh restoration using techniques such as runnel construction and ditch remediation. Deliverables include monthly progress reports and final inspection documentation. The SOW delineates quality control, personnel requirements, and government-furnished materials, emphasizing the need for effective project management and progress tracking.
The contract is set to run from March 1, 2025, to December 31, 2028, highlighting the government's commitment to environmental rehabilitation and habitat enhancement while fostering local community engagement and capacity building.
