dc.description.abstractDue to natural and artificial degradation of the wetlands in the Galveston Bay system in Texas, multiple marsh restoration techniques have been used for reestablishing lost marsh, enhancing degrade marsh, and buffering shorelines from continued erosion throughout the bay system. Revegetation site selection, site protection, the establishment of a reliable cordgrass Spartina alterniflora nursery, effective transplanting techniques and the cost associated with marsh planting are discussed. The structural techniques for reestablishing sheet flow to coastal wetlands that have been isolated from their upstreams watershed by channelization are also discusseden_US
