Description

The Wash Flats impoundments comprise an area of approximately 1,200 acres. Prior to 1963, the Wash Flats was subject to periodic washover during extremely high tides and severe storms. The existing dike and road have been constructed since the 1962 storm which flattened the dunes and washed over into the bay. This plan outlines how the refuge will manage the varied habitats and species found on the Wash Flats areas of Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge.
