A portion of the money that was acquired from the Presidente Rivera oil spill was used to restore a Civil War-era pier at Fort Mott State Park.  Fort Mott State Park, located on the Delaware River in Pennsville was part of a coastal defense system designed for the Delaware River in the 1800s.  The pier was an original fortification erected in 1896 and is a registered historic site.  It now serves as a ferry terminal that transports passengers to and from other historic sites in the Delaware estuary.  The project was implemented to restore the public’s loss of use and access to the estuary due to the oil spill.
