2024 Conservation Stewardship Award When Norman and Susan Colpitts moved to their property, they quickly realized that there were significant erosion issues with their shoreline. The shoreline was vulnerable due to wave action caused by wind and boats but also an odd phenomenon where fresh water was seeping from underground onto the affected shoreline.
After learning about the Virginia Conservation Assistance Program (VCAP) they applied and were approved to begin construction on 164 linear feet of living shoreline. The project included a 3-level oyster castle enclosure, tons of imported sand, coir logs, and marsh grass plantings.
After the main structures were put into place, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation provided oysters in hopes of repopulating them on the shoreline.

The Cape Charles town government and administration is a cesspool of clowns. You all masquerading with aliases and taking shots…
Stuart's still a crybaby I see.
