dc.description.abstractSince the mid-1950s, wetland loss has increased to an alarming rate due to subsidence; this subsidence has been induced by withdrawal of groundwater, oil, and gas. A wetland recreation or restoration project is underway in the Galveston Island State Park. By restoring 749 acres of degraded salt marsh, the loss of an important resource will be prevented and possibly reversed.en_US
