Sediment and Erosion Control

[Friends of the St. Croix East End Marine Park]

Even if you can't see the ocean, we all live in a watershed. How do you keep yours healthy? 

Tip #4: Control erosion where you live. The number one pollutant to water quality in the VI is eroded sediment. To reduce erosion, plan soil disturbances during the dry season--NOW! Conserve existing vegetation and replant bare areas quickly.
