While working with the low point of the open green space, there will be more than 850 stakes to represent each of the different species of marine life that inhabit the Casco Bay Estuary and visualize the changing sea levels and how this has changed over time. Historical touchpoints include the history of Mill Cove and the Grist Mill and Shipyard, and railroad history of this area.
