Wildlife officials gathered at elkorn slough this week, to celebrate the recent completion of a project to control erosion. The 4-point-5 million dollar project, paid for with federal stimulus funds, involved installing an underwater sill. The sill acts as a retaining wall, that slows tidal erosion. In addition to slowing further erosion, the project is also expected to restore 7-acres of marshland. The construction work also involved improvements to Kirby park.
