This book was released on 2001 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 1 and 2, 1990, a 576,000-gal oil spill seriously damaged the salt marshes of the Arthur Kill, the strait separating Staten Island, New York, from New Jersey. The New York City Salt Marsh Restoration Team (SMRT) implemented a multiyear restoration and monitoring project to restore those parts of the marshes directly impacted by the oil spill. Restoration activities included successfully reintroducing Arthur-Kill-propagated saltmarsh cordgrass, Spartina alterniflora, and monitoring several parameters both in oiled marshes that were replanted and in oiled marshes that were left for natural recovery. Those parameters included: peak standing biomass, stem and flower density, and height of S. alterniflora; sediment total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH); density of ribbed-mussels (Geukensia demissa); fish abundance and diversity; and wading bird (i.e., egret) foraging success.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive report on coastal marsh creation in the United States. It provides potential users with an analysis and interpretation of the available information on this subject. The role of marshes, the feasibility of marsh creation, and the effects of elevation, salinity, slope, exposure, and soils on marsh establishment are discussed. Plants suitable for marsh building are described by the major regions. Plant propagation, planting, fertilization, and management of the major plants are discussed. Labor and material requirements for marsh creation are summarized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of treatment of saltmarsh vegetation with Corexit 9527, a chemical dispersant, and Alberta sweet blend crude oil were examined at Conrod's Beach Saltmarsh on Petpeswick Inlet, Nova Scotia. Treatments (oil, dispersant, or oil and dispersant) were applied to three distinct marsh vegetation types in early July 1986, and vegetation and soil characteristics were measured in late summer 1986, 1987, 1988 (vegetation only), and 1990. This report describes the results of 1988 and 1990 sampling periods, two and four years after treatments were applied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World of the Salt Marsh is a wide-ranging exploration of the southeastern coast--its natural history, its people and their way of life, and the historic and ongoing threats to its ecological survival. Focusing on areas from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, to Cape Canaveral, Florida, Charles Seabrook examines the ecological importance of the salt marsh, calling it "a biological factory without equal." Twice-daily tides carry in a supply of nutrients that nourish vast meadows of spartina ( Spartina alterniflora )--a crucial habitat for creatures ranging from tiny marine invertebrates to wading birds. The meadows provide vital nurseries for 80 percent of the seafood species, including oysters, crabs, shrimp, and a variety of finfish, and they are invaluable for storm protection, erosion prevention, and pollution filtration. Seabrook is also concerned with the plight of the people who make their living from the coast's bounty and who carry on its unique culture. Among them are Charlie Phillips, a fishmonger whose livelihood is threatened by development in McIntosh County, Georgia, and Vera Manigault of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, a basket maker of Gullah-Geechee descent, who says that the sweetgrass needed to make her culturally significant wares is becoming scarcer. For all of the biodiversity and cultural history of the salt marshes, many still view them as vast wastelands to be drained, diked, or "improved" for development into highways and subdivisions. If people can better understand and appreciate these ecosystems, Seabrook contends, they are more likely to join the growing chorus of scientists, conservationists, fishermen, and coastal visitors and residents calling for protection of these truly amazing places.
