Goal
Technique: Comparison of restored with reference saltmarsh A Rapid Assessment Method was developed and used specifically for this habitat in order to compare restored (ages 5–15 y) to reference saltmarshes. An ecosystem index score was calculated, whereby a pristine habitat would score 100%. The average ecosystem index score for reference marshes (81%) was typical for urbanized estuaries while restored marshes scored 75% indicating that they were relatively well developed, a No spatial extent reported. Reported project duration 15,0 year(s). Average survival 92,6% 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.
