The coastal rivers and estuary systems support federally protected Shortnose Sturgeon and the West Indian Manatee in summer. Lazaretto Creek boat ramp No specific sites have been identified. All of the shoreline is either salt marsh or tidal flat. Will need on-water recovery operations boat, refer to NPS Annex for more information. Medium Min. Boom Length (FT): 850 Boom Type: Exclusion booming to keep floating oil discharge or hazardous substances from entering the small tidal channels. Will need on-water recovery systems for spill recovery at containment/deflection sites. Will have to deploy booms at creek mouths because of extensive areas of soft mud flats inside. Creek mouth is about 850' wide with marshes on both channels. Depending on spill site and trajectory, it may be necessary to deploy booms at multiple sites to keep spilled material out of Oyster Creek. Refer to NPS Annex for more information. The Superintendent will direct any issues of dissatisfaction, concerns or recommendations regarding clean-up actions to the FOSC or Liaison Officer.
