In 2016, Wisconsin used 385,000 cubic yards of harbor mud to rebuild vanished Cat Island; more than 30 bird species returned, and 3 piping plover chicks fledged

Piping plovers are thriving on Cat Island in Green Bay thanks to a successful conservation initiative. Engineers repurposed dredged materials from nearby shipping channels to revive the island's lost habitat. Since 2016, there have been 68 fledged chicks documented, showcasing the project's success. The ongoing efforts aim to expand and restore more land and wetlands, emphasizing the critical role of meticulous planning and collaboration in ecological conservation.
