STONE HARBOR – Dr. Lenore Tedesco, executive director of The Wetlands Institute, told Stone Harbor Borough Council Sept. 18 that heavy rains and high tides associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon “effectively ended the nesting season at the Point.”
Tedesco said the Point had seen a “very successful nesting season.” The Point is one of the few areas where the black skimmer, an endangered state bird, is breeding successfully.
