The Healey-Driscoll administration on May 12 announced a $3 million award to the town of Wellfleet and the Friends of Herring River to support the Herring River Estuary Restoration Project in Wellfleet and Truro.
The funding, provided by the Department of Fish and Game’s Division of Ecological Restoration, will help to restore tidal flow to the estuary and improve habitat for fish and wildlife.
The Herring River Estuary Restoration project, one of the largest such projects ever undertaken in the North Atlantic coastal region, will restore up to 890 acres of degraded salt marsh and estuarine habitats to support fish and shellfish populations.
The funding will go to two organizations supporting the restoration. The town of Wellfleet will receive $1.47 million to support construction, and Friends of the Herring River will receive $1.6 million to support project coordination and other construction-related activities.
