Paul Stoutenburgh Preserve Fact Sheet.pdf
Fact Sheet: The Paul Stoutenburgh Preserve (PSP) in Southold, NY, is experiencing the ecological impacts of tidal restriction, leading to the dominance of Common Reed (Phragmites australis), a highly invasive species. These conditions are largely due to limited tidal flow from the Peconic Estuary, caused by undersized and partially obstructed culverts along the water’s path into the area. The contractor assessed several solutions aimed at restoring natural tidal dynamics to increase water flow and deter Phragmites spread. Infrastructure-based restoration uses targeted upgrades to naturally restore tidal dynamics, offering a minimally invasive, cost-effective alternative to dredging. This approach improves wetland resilience, supports native plant communities, and emphasizes adaptive planning through interagency collaboration and engineering-informed restoration.
