Cape Cod National Seashore
East Harbor Tidal Restoration Project
East Harbor 2006

East Harbor (Truro, Massachusetts) - a former salt marsh lagoon within Cape Cod National Seashore that was severely degraded from over 140 years of impoundment - has undergone partial tidal restoration since 2002 and may get even more help in the form of increased seawater exchange in the future.
