Abstract

The Beneficial Use of Dredged Material Work Group (BUG) is presently developing a planting plan that incorporates design criteria for creating marshes that are functionally similar to natural marshes in Galveston Bay. This plan will use the physical features (i.e., slope, elevation, dimensions of coves and creeks, other), measured by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for the reference marshes adjacent to the Demonstration Marsh to determine the approximate zonation of suitable species of vegetation
