The authors compared 17 tidal wetland restoration projects in order to determine the level of restoration achieved, to compare excavation and hydrologic restoration projects, to identify key indicators for restoration effectiveness, and to evaluate the National Estuarine Research Reserve System as a source for reference sites.
