NotesTwo wetland restoration sites in the Siuslaw Estuary were monitored and compared with two reference sites in the Siuslaw Estuary, and with one reference site in the Yaquina Estuary. While documenting conditions, comparing restoration sites to reference sites, establishing a baseline to note future change, and providing data on tidal swamps, the project also developed data to guide future tidal restoration projects. The study found that both restoration sites are subject to "natural processes and controlling factors""and tidal wetland restoration is well underway."
