Develop a design to restore 185 acres of saltmarsh at Hammock River by installing self regulating tide gates in conjunction with the removal of a large tidal restriction to improve the restricted hydrological flow in the tidal system. Project will enhance fish and wildlife habitats and help ensure the community can recover from a flood event by developing a project design to allow the wetland system to store water and fully drain.
