The executive director of the Atlantic Coastal Action Program here in the city says having the proposed Marsh Creek restoration capturing the attention of an international group is huge.

Tim Vickers gave members of the Cousteau group a tour of the Marsh Creek watershed over the weekend and talked about the goal of establishing a walking and cycling trail that would run all the way to Rothesay and Quispamsis.

Vickers says another part of the five year plan would see wetlands enlarged to capture more storm water runoff to ease flooding problems . He claims it's just a matter of will to make the plan a reality.
