* » Abstract |
Terracing uses existing bottom sediments to form terraces or ridges at marsh elevation and the intertidal zone is planted with marsh vegetation. This study examined the habitat value of terracing at Sabine National Wildlife Refuge, Louisiana in the spring and fall of 1999 by quantifying and comparing nekton densities in a 9-yr old terrace field and nearby reference area using a 1 m2 drop sampler. |
* Purpose |
Identify and describe the relationship between fishery productivity and the coastal environment. Specifically, to examine nursery utilization of estuarine marshes by fishery species in relation to differences in salinity among sites. |
