Within the Florida Keys, historical tidal connections on either side of Long Point Key were filled in during the construction of Flagler’s railroad early in the last century. This led to large areas of stagnant, non-flushing water, resulting in degraded water quality and regular fish-kill events. This project sought to design actions to reestablish flow and allow for water movement from Florida Bay to the Atlantic Ocean.
