Restoring the Coonamessett River: Results of Phase 1

The Town of Falmouth, MA is restoring the Coonamessett River. Hundreds of years of industrialization for mills and cranberry farming severely impacted the wetland habitat and the historic herring run. Restoring the river to a more natural state has already had a huge positive impact.

It's a creek, not a river. A A river is a LARGE, natural stream of flowing water

good job. But... that's a creek, not a river.

Just curious, why is this called a river? It doesn't look like much more than a small stream.
