Through the Estuarine Sanctuary Management
Plan, the Trust has designated marine and coastal habitats to be
protected, restored and created. Plans call for beach, marsh, and
coastal strand restoration at Gansevoort
Peninsula and south of Pier
76; unique ecological piers at Piers
32 and 46; and the preservation
of pile fields at Piers 32, 49,
and 72. Below-surface
oyster reefs are being considered to restore some of the extensive
beds that once existed and to reduce high-energy currents and ship
wakes throughout the bethnic and beach environments.
