Gloucester Event Highlights Accomplishments By Stephanie Hunt (November 20, 2003) On November 20th, a group of over 100 people gathered in
Gloucester, Massachusetts, to celebrate the rebirth of three New England
salt marshes. With funding from the NOAA Community-based Restoration Program
and nearly 20 other partners, tidal flow was restored to marsh systems
in Essex, Rockport, and Gloucester, Massachusetts. NOAA’s Community-based Restoration Program (CRP) contributed over $56,000 to the three restoration projects and has helped fund 50 other projects within the Gulf of Maine. The CRP strives to promote stewardship of living marine resources by supporting partnerships and grassroots habitat restoration activities. Links:
