00000177-ba84-d5f4-a5ff-bbfca35c0000The Herring River Restoration is a proposed $40-$50 million project in Wellfleet. The idea is to remove the Chequessett dike, originally built in 1909, allowing seawater to flow up the river estuary, restoring the saltwater marsh. It would affect more than 1000 acres and six miles of waterways, and requires the construction of two secondary dikes. Within Wellfleet, there are those who are passionately in favor of the project. There are those who are opposed. And there are many who see both sides of this immense issue.At WCAI, we were interested to hear some of these voices. This week reporter Stephanie Guyer-Stevens introduces us to three people connected to the Herring River, each with a different understanding of what’s at stake.And on Thursday this week, Mindy Todd will host an hour-long discussion on The Point, looking at the Herring River Restoration project.
