Goal
Technique: Construction, hydrological restoration Five of the marshes were classified as terraces vor small marsh islands and were constructed in shallow water with a backhoe or small bulldozer. Elevated ridges or islands were built using sediments from the adjacent bay bottom or from a nearby stockpile (Mason Marsh). Spatial extent 113000 ha 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.
