The Healey-Driscoll Administration has allocated over $2 million for seven salt marsh restoration projects along the Massachusetts coastline, aimed at revitalizing critical ecosystems that provide flood protection, habitat, and carbon absorption. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection will oversee the grants, which support the state's biodiversity goals and enhance resilience against climate change through the Department of Fish & Game's Blue Carbon Program. This initiative is part of the Mass Ready Act's efforts to accelerate environmental projects and strengthen coastal defenses.
