Island Road salt marsh, Essex
Island Road is a low-lying causeway, crossing and dividing a 70-acre salt marsh, leading to Essex Bay. The road prevents the daily surface flow of tidal waters necessary for a healthy salt marsh.

Lackey Pond Project
The project located on the Mumford River, near Uxbridge, in Worchester County was dedicated in fall 2000 in the memory of the late Rocky Bridges, former state Director of the Division of Fish and Wildlife and DU staff Regional Director and MARSH Coordinator. This 150-acre wetland project will benefit waterfowl such as black ducks, mallards and teal as well as many other water birds and wildlife.
