Despite the drainage that occurred in response to diking, groundwater levels remain high in the Mill Creek flood plain, and low-lying areas are susceptible to surface inundation during high groundwater stages and precipitation events. The USGS, in collaboration with the Friends of Herring River (FHR), have established a groundwater and surface-water monitoring program in the Mill Creek watershed. The specific objectives of the project are to:"

     "text": "Estuary restoration will consist of installing a new tide gate to restore tidal flushing to large parts of the former salt marsh. The effort to restore the marsh is driven mainly by the expected improvements in coastal habitat, ecosystem services, and water quality resulting from increased tidal exchange. Restoration is expected to improve water and soil quality, increase river herring and shellfish habitat, reduce the extent of invasive plant species, and provide improved recreational opportunities."
