A few small streams exist in upland areas of Egg Island and currently do not have associated ponded water. Project would pinpoint 1 stream to enhance ponded water features. The pond would provide ideal brood rearing habitat for dusky Canada geese.
Location
Egg Island, Copper River Delta, 12 miles south of Cordova, Alaska. The island is a sandy "barrier island" off of the coast of the mainland.
