The presentation will review the work we are doing to restore vegetation in these two large marshes. At Delta Marsh, the restoration involves the exclusion of Common Carp, a destructive invasive fish species. At Netley-Libau Marsh, restoration involves the creation of shallow-water conditions necessary for reestablishment of emergent plants.
