The Accomack Wetlands Board convened on July 17, 2025, to address ongoing concerns regarding wetland conditions and the impact of construction activities in the area. The meeting began with a report from Mr. Pulaski, who had recently visited a site affected by high tides. He noted that while the tide was higher than usual, the overall condition of the marsh appeared unchanged, with less gravel visible in the water.

Mr. Pulaski presented a thumb drive containing photographs of the site before construction, which he believed would provide a clearer understanding of the wetlands' condition prior to any work being done. He emphasized the importance of comparing these images to assess the impact of recent activities.

During the meeting, Mr. Pulaski expressed his concerns about potential retaliatory actions following his complaints filed with the Attorney General and other agencies regarding wetland damage. He highlighted the significance of the wetlands on Starboard Street and reflected on previous meetings where he advocated for their preservation.

As the discussion progressed, Mr. Pulaski shared a series of photographs illustrating the changes in the wetlands over the years. He pointed out that erosion had significantly increased since he purchased the property, particularly after the Captain's Cove Homeowners Association's actions. He described the deterioration of the wetlands, noting that wave action had accelerated erosion, leading to the loss of vegetation and land.

The board reviewed the photographs, which depicted the gradual changes from 2002 to 2021, illustrating the erosion and the current state of the wetlands. Mr. Pulaski expressed hope that the measures taken, including the installation of a riprap seawall, would help mitigate further damage, although he acknowledged that these solutions were not definitive.

The meeting concluded with a commitment from the board to further investigate the issues raised and consider the implications of the presented evidence. The discussions underscored the ongoing challenges faced by the wetlands in Accomack County and the need for continued monitoring and action to protect these vital ecosystems.
