Saltern Restoration
Salterns (also called salinas, salt flats, and salt barrens) are open areas where tidal waters pool and salt is concentrated. We are trying to re-establish some salterns that were lost due to past land alterations, particularly the excavation of a network of mosquito ditches that criss-cross the mangrove forest.

Weedon Island is a well-known archaeological site listed on the National Register from which a vibrant Precolumbian Gulf Coast culture spawned. After excavating in 1923, Dr. J. Walter Fewkes and Matthew W. Sterling of the Smithsonian Institute reported three or four distinct series of mounds. The largest, about 400 feet in diameter and about 27 feet high, was a burial mound. The Fewkes/Sterling excavations established the name for the Weeden Island period cultures and led to the description of an archaeological culture and ceramic series in the central Gulf Coast area. (Their original misspelling of "Weeden" to describe the culture persists to this day.)
