Our Rush Creek/Cemetery Marsh Enhancement Project received one of only ten awards given for "OUTSTANDING COMPREHENSIVE CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION" given to estuary-wide organizations and governments. Marin Audubon's award was for implementation of objectives promoting the enhancement and restoration of wetlands. The Rush Creek/Cemetery Marsh project replaced a tide gate with a combination slide-flap gate to allow more tidal water to enter Rush Creek marsh, and the marsh will be excavated to enhance channels in order to improve water circulation and reduce water quality problems. The gate has already been installed and the excavation will be done this summer. The CCMP programs and objectives address water quality, wetlands, wildlife aquatic resources and waterway modification.
