Description:
"The Johnny Horn Trail is a steep dirt road starting at the Emmaus Moravian Church and running uphill into a developing residential area alongside the Johnny Horn Ghut. Recent road maintenance has disrupted the natural drainage, funneling large amounts of stormwater and sediment down the road and directly into Coral Bay Harbor increasing water turbidity (Photo 1). The goal of this project is to route water off the road and restore natural flows in the Johnny Horn Ghut; thereby, reducing sediment reaching Coral Bay by slowing velocities, promoting infiltration, and decreasing slopeside erosion."--Executive summary.
