Reply to Global study reveals widespread salt marsh decline. The world lost 1,453 square kilometers (561 square miles) of salt marsh between 2000 and 2019, an area twice the size of Singapore, according to a new study based on satellite imagery. by Wagamaga
I restored a salt marsh one time, on the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge. Dredged in fill to get elevations up in areas that eroded. Removed phragmite which is some of the nastiest stuff ever. It was an awesome opportunity and experience.

I was needed. There was this grass that grew only within a 2" elevation of sea level (4 to 6 inches elevation) and the area was washed out by Hurricane Sandy. It turned into a swamp infested with mosquitos because some areas just wouldn't drain. So we moved several thousand cubic yards of material to infill, cut new runnels and channels, made sure there was no ponding, and them finished other areas with native seeds and the craziest SWPPP program I have ever been a part of. It enjoyed every minute of it.
You are welcome.
