Completed (successful/maintained)

Country: USA

Goal

Technique: Construction, planting saltmarsh Excavating sediment, collecting and germinating seeds collected from Tijuana Estuary in a greenhouse, transplanting seedlings in individual peat pots. When seedlings were 4 months old and 5–10 cm tall, they were hardened outdoors and watered with increasingly saline water. Seedlings and peat pots were placed in the experimental plots. Spatial extent 7000 ha as reported. Reported project duration 0,9 year(s). Average survival 80,4% as reported.

A variable shows "pending" instead of a contribution when no domain area has been set for it yet — the share of the world a project touched cannot be computed without one. The health percentages are accurate regardless.
