Teaching Marsh: Creation of the Marsh
1999 - Just after construction
2000 - After 1st growing season
Before planting a tidal marsh, it is important to
know: 1) the local salinity range to pick the right
plants, and 2) the local tide levels to know where
they should be planted in the new marsh.
If the correct elevations are accurately targeted,
then the planted vegetation will quickly fill in until it
looks just like a natural marsh. If introduced marsh
plants fail to thrive, then the tide levels should be
re-evaluated.
