The marsh site construction began in November 1974 and continued in conjunction with r9utine maintenance dredging through February 1975. The island, at the completion of construction, consisted of a sand dike forming a rectangular perimenter 152 x 396 m, occupying 1.2 ha above mean high water, confining an area about 5.7 ha of which 4.9 ha was intertidal substrate composed of dike and dredged material.
