Overview
- The research studies and management experience of marsh restoration in the New England/Atlantic Canada region are arguably the greatest concentration of information on this subject available, and this book will be the first synthesis and interpretation of this information for a broad professional and academic audience
- The combination of scientists and practitioners makes the volume particularly valuable for people around the world working on salt marsh restoration
- The importance of salt marsh ecosystems as biologically productive systems and the relative paucity of available information on effective restoration mean that this book will be of great interest to the target audience
Part of the book series: The Science and Practice of Ecological Restoration (SPER)

About this book
Tidal Marsh Restoration provides the scientific foundation and practical guidance necessary for coastal zone stewards to initiate salt marsh tidal restoration programs. The book compiles, synthesizes, and interprets the current state of knowledge on the science and practice of salt marsh restoration, bringing together leaders across a range of disciplines in the sciences (hydrology, soils, vegetation, zoology), engineering (hydraulics, modeling), and public policy, with coastal managers who offer an abundance of practical insight and guidance on the development of programs.
The book is an essential work for managers, planners, regulators, environmental and engineering consultants, and others engaged in planning, designing, and implementing projects or programs aimed at restoring tidal flow to tide-restricted or diked salt marshes.
