Southwick Beach State Park will restore dunes along the shore of Lake Ontario to stabilize the beach and prevent sedimentation and habitat degradation from sand deposition in the adjacent wetland. Installation of porous pavement and bioretention systems to intercept and treat stormwater from the parking lot will further protect existing wetlands. The project will be one of the largest and most visible green infrastructure applications of its kind in the North Country/Thousand Islands Region and will serve as an example and educational opportunity for peer communities.
