The Association to Preserve Cape Cod is receiving 15-million-dollars from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to support the planning, design, and implementation of five projects.
The funding will support salt marsh restoration at Weir Creek in Dennis and Oyster Pond in West Falmouth along with river and cranberry bog restoration at Hinckleys Pond in Harwich, Red Brook on the Mashpee-Falmouth border, and the upper Quashnet River in Mashpee.
Officials say the money is greatly appreciated and transformative for the region.
