The Herring River Restoration Project in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, is the largest salt marsh restoration in the Northeast aimed at restoring tidal flow to the Herring River Estuary, which has been impaired by a dike constructed in the 1900s. This dike has restricted natural tidal movements, causing a decline in the health of wetlands, fish populations, and overall biodiversity. The project will remove the dike and other barriers, allowing for the return of saltwater to the estuary. By doing so, it will improve water quality, enhance habitats for fish like the river herring, and support the long-term ecological health of the region. This restoration effort is a collaborative effort involving local, state, and federal partners, and is part of a broader movement to revitalize coastal ecosystems in Massachusetts. This Special Symposium brings together members of the Herring River Technical Team to provide an overview of the project and share their contributions and experiences on the restoration team.
