As part of a state review process, the island is being transferred from the domain of the Maryland Department of the Environment to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources for inclusion in the Sinepuxent Bay Wildlife Management Area.
Ed Tudor, Worcester County director of development and planning, brought the matter before the Worcester County Commissioners at Tuesday’s meeting for their review.
“There’s a potential problem with future funding if not maintained,” he said. “That was the underlying point is that fed funds were used for this dredging operation and a condition of which was the creation of a bird-nesting habitat.”

It's so stupid that it is designated for that purpose. It's a man made island not the birds natural habitat. They can nest at assateague or wnere they have hatched for the last thousand years.
I am impressed that they made a man made island. They should do more of that while dredging the Chesapeake Bay and the Wicomico.
