Londregan Tidal Marsh
Degradation Description
This mosquito-ditched tidal marsh is suffering from poor low tide drainage. The ditch that extends the system's primary tidal creek to the upstream-most end of the marsh has partially filled in and needs clearing to restore proper low tide drainage. Currently, the system drains very poorly at low tide and the upstream end of the tidal marsh is drowning.
