Wellfleet

After decades of planning, hands-on work has begun to restore natural tidal flow to the Herring River and bring back hundreds of acres of salt marsh. It’s the state’s largest-ever repair of a damaged estuary.

The biggest element of the project is the removal of the Chequessett Neck Road Dike, which has blocked tidal inflow since 1909.

Oyster-shell recycling expands to four Cape Cod towns.

The massive number of mosquitos that plagued Wellfleet last summer should not be back again this summer.
