Abstract
All landscape reclamation schemes has to be in two distinct stages: (a) Physical, technical or engineering, this is the high-cost, low-risk part of reclamation and takes over 60–90% of the total cost of reclamation, and (b) Biological, this is low-cost, high-risk part of reclamation work, which requires multidisciplinary inputs. The job of reclamation specialist is to bring these two parts together, along with other consideration of landscape, after use, etc.
