Description

As the agency reported it.

This project will support construction of all water control infrastructure needed for full tidal restoration of the estuary, as well as property impact prevention measures needed to begin implementation of tidal restoration. Upon completion, the overall effort will restore 890 acres of tidal wetlands and reconnect a functioning estuary to cape COD BAY and the gulf of maine. IT will significantly improve water quality and habitat for fish and shellfish. Reestablishing natural sediment processes will help the marsh regain elevation and keep pace with sea level rise. The effort will also help restore the flood and storm protection functions of healthy salt marsh, and rebuild and improve the resilience of local bridges and roads.
