Degradation Description
The cause of degradation at Calf Pen Meadow was a bridge over Calf Pen Meadow Creek that connected Bayshore Drive to Melba Street. Originally built in 1926, the cross-sectional area was too small and therefore acted as a tidal flow restriction. A pair of tide gates was mounted to this bridge as well, but it is unclear how often they were actually closed.
