About 42,000 sea grass plugs cover the sand spit straddling the Fairfield, Bridgeport line that a month or so ago was in danger of being washed out if a huge storm hit the coastline.
The danger still lingers, but the urgency has ebbed a bit with the recent planting. Bridgeport and Fairfield officials say the sea grass will help hold the sand in place and allow dunes to form, giving the area some much-needed protection and height.
“These are interim plantings,” said Gail Robinson, president of the Ash Creek Conservation Association. “This is because we lost so much sand and plantings to Irene and Sandy. We had to do something quickly to hold down the sand before there’s more erosion.”
