Abstract:
The East End Bay, St. Croix, component of the overall USVI Watershed Stabilization Project had two main objectives: (1) repair existing erosion damage and reduce future erosion by improving runoff drainage conditions along pre-existing foot trails at East End Bay; and, (2) to establish a more environmentally friendly beach access to the adjacent Isaac Bay. Serious gullying due to the absence of drainage design severely damaged the trail leading to East End Bay (Photo 1), caused dangerous conditions for hikers, and posed a threat to the coastal and nearshore marine communities due to excessive runoff and pollution by sediments"--Executive summary.
