See this beautifully done new short film created by Cape Ann’s Lisa Smith and featuring marine biologist and habitat restoration expert Eric Hutchins in which they describe how the salt marsh at Wingaersheek was filled in. We learn what can be done to restore the estuary to vibrant thriving pools for fish, mudflats for clams, and a nursery for eels. Restoring the salt marsh will put Wingaersheek’s dune system back in equilibrium with nature and is our best defense against rising sea level.
