Next fall federal officials said they would begin to fix four breaches along Delaware Bayshore south of Fowler Beach Road.
And that was welcome news to the public who packed themselves into a meeting room last night at the Milford Library.
Al Rizzo is the project leader for the Coastal Delaware National Wildlife Refuge.
He said the plan is aimed at building a beach and marsh that is more resistant to sea level rise and coastal storms by filling in a series of inlets and building a platform to the west.
The beach will be filled with an estimated 800-thousand cubic yards of sand after which Spartina grass will be planted over a 200-to-300 foot wide area.
But the Wilmington News Journal reports that Rizzo could not guarantee that there would not be any flooding.
