Restoration
Returning tidal flow to southern Maine salt marshes
For centuries, salt marshes have been drained, filled, diked, and otherwise altered. In many places, the changes are permanent. But where it is possible to restore marshes to functioning tidal ecosystems, we work with partners to encourage their recovery.
Restoration Projects
Through these projects with our partners, we have enhanced the health of salt marshes and increased access to inland habitats for migratory fish:
- Drakes Island tide gate replacement
- Goff Mill Brook dam removal
- Shoreys Brook dam removal
- York River Golf and Tennis Club tidal wetland restoration
