LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION: Ecosystem Restoration. Noyes Cut is located in the Satilla River estuary in Camden County, Georgia approximately 10 miles south of Brunswick. The Satilla River estuary is a complex network of tidal channels, and between 1900 and 1939, eight man-made cuts were created to increase accessibility for the timber industry. The cuts have altered the ebb tide on Dover Creek, causing siltation and blocking access to freshwater reaches for migratory fish, crabs, and shrimp and for commercial fisherman who earn their livelihood harvesting seafood from these waters. The recommended plan includes the closure of Noyes Cut, Dynamite Cut, and Old River Run with the objective of increasing tidal exchange throughout the system, restoring salinity gradients to Dover Creek, and reducing shoaling in Umbrella Creek. Implementation is divided into two phases, with phase one closing Dynamite Cut and Old River Run and phase two closing Noyes Cut.
ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED FOR FY2023: Complete construction and fiscally close out construction contract. Coordinate monitoring and adaptive management subject to need and available funding.
ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED FOR FY2024: Continue coordination with the Non-federal sponsor regarding the potential funding for construction of the second phase of work to complete the closure of Noyes Cut.
ISSUES AND OTHER INFORMATION: None.
