Salt Marsh Restoration 205 Journal of Coastal Research, Vol. 27, 2001 tions due to large seasonal variations in freshwater in-flow, is affected by strong summer sea breeze wave action, Salt marshes are valuable for climate change mitigation because they remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into salt marsh vegetation. It is dominated by dense stands of salt-tolerant plants such as herbs, grasses, or low shrubs. In order to achieve maximum protection for a newly created salt marsh from wave energy, increase biodiversity, and create a living shoreline, several different restoration projects are combined with salt marsh restoration.

ISBN. Napa River Salt Marsh Restoration Project The Napa River Salt Marsh Restoration Project is a pioneering effort to restore 10,000 acres of former salt ponds, remnant sloughs, fringing marsh and levees to tidal marsh and other valuable habitats in the North Bay of San Francisco.

On Feb. 17, the North Carolina Coastal Federation broke ground on a salt marsh restoration project in Williston Creek, located at the 6,000-acre North River Wetlands Preserve in Otway. This restoration of habitat and natural tidal water circulation will enable salt marsh vegetation to return and flourish, improving the resilience of refuge wetlands against future storms and sea level rise, and providing valuable habitat for birds and other wildlife.
