  "projectDescription": "This project restored a natural tidal regime to a tidally restricted tidal river and wetland system by removing a restricting culvert.  The restoration activities allowed Cheverie Creek to return to a functioning salt marsh and tidal river system that will benefit migratory fish species including Atlantic salmon and American eel.",
