1/7Poplar Island is seen on Aug. 27, 2019. Erosion had shrunk the island to just five acres by 1993, but a plan was developed to rebuild it to its surveyed 1847 footprint of 1,140 acres. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)
Questions resolved. So many ideas of what is being accomplished. I have been fishing the Popular area from the early '60's when the area was prolific with beautiful Rockfish. So glad to see that the effort is being made to restore the Island however with the solid stone bulkhead, wondering how that is modifying the original island.
It's great to read that some islands in the Chesapeake are being restored. Too bad they can't do the same for melting glaciers.
Thank you!
