		Overall, the surveyors found the river to be in relatively good condition; they described segments of the river as "pristine," encouraged land protection efforts and river access in several areas, and provided lists of abundant wildlife, birds, and fishes found in their segments.
		The erosion along the banks seems to be a natural result of the river's tidal flow and because of that the trees closest to the edge have fallen across the river.
		This section of the river bank extends approximately 3/4 mile upstream and is generally well-maintained by lobster or fishermen's private docks and residential private docks or grounds.

		Cooks Creek Watershed is a 30-square-mile limestone valley watershed in northern Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
		The fragile nature of the limestone aquifer and the increase in development pressure in surrounding townships is the main reason the DTEAC was compelled to initiate the Cooks Creek Watershed Protection Plan (CCWPP).
