Description
The preserve is a sand spit island formed by deposits from associated river systems. It shifts in position and structure due to erosion and deposition of sand. At this time, however, due to its dynamic nature, the preserve has subsided to a tidal bar and is not suitable for nesting. It remains important as a rest and foraging area and likely will re-emerge to island status in the future.
