Demand
is growing for practical methods that estimate, in advance, the "ecological
lift" that a tidal restoration project is likely to provide. On the West
Coast this demand is driven by increasing recognition of the importance of
tidal marshes not only as habitat for juvenile salmon, but for a host of
other functions. An understanding of those functions is crucial to project
design and for estimating mitigation credits. This course will give you a
detailed understanding of each of 10 tidal wetland functions, focusing on
practical indicators for estimating them. We will visit local tidal marshes
and practice assessing their functions and condition using two rapid methods
-- the Oregon Tidal Wetland HGM Method, and the California Rapid Assessment
Method (CRAM) - and will also discuss more intensive methods. Principles
for selecting reference wetlands and prioritizing restoration at a landscape
scale will also be covered. This course is important for resource agencies,
land trusts, consultants, and others needing to understand and apply best
available science to assess functions or health of tidal wetlands. Instructor for this course is Adamus. |
