Ecological Restoration Case Studies Bogue Sound Wetland Mitigation Site The Bogue Sound Mitigation Site (BSMS) was designed as compensation for permitted estuarine wetland losses due to transportation infrastructure improvements in the region. Located in Cedar Point, Carteret County, NC, the mitigation project provided for the establishment of 3.56 acres of estuarine wetland types including low intertidal marsh dominated by smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) and high intertidal marsh dominated by black needlerush (Juncus roemerianus) and saltmeadow cordgrass (Spartina patens). The final plan for the BSMS was submitted to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) in February 1998 and the project was subsequently approved. Construction and planting were completed by June 1998. The final 3 year monitoring report has been completed and the project has received final sign-off.
