Illustrated with more than 170 figures and tables, the book covers a full range of topics including: the conceptual planning for coastal wetlands restoration; strategies for the manipulation of hydrology and soils; the re-establishment of vegetation and assemblages of fishes and invertebrates; and the process of assessing, monitoring and sustaining restored wetlands. It also combines examples from coastal research studies along the coast of southern California with information drawn from the literature on coastal restoration across the globe.
