Coastal Wetland Restoration and Planning

Thursday, June 11, 2020

1 - 3 pm EST

Tidal restrictions occur when a structure or built landform limits or prevents tidal exchange between upstream and downstream habitats. This can lead to wetland loss through hydrologic alteration or can impact wetland function through changes in salinity, vegetation, water quality, and habitat for wetland fauna. Removal or avoidance of tidal restrictions therefore provide an opportunity for restoration or planning at a watershed scale.

Please join us for this webinar to hear about tools from state, federal, and academic entities that aid in tidal restriction identification, assessment, prioritization, restoration planning, and project funding.
