Amount: $104,452
County: Contra Costa
Coordinates: 38.01399994, -121.6869965
Project Type: Planning
Overview: This grant provided funding for a study that investigated several revegetation techniques to deter colonization of invasive species on restoration sites in tidal wetlands such as the Dutch Slough and Bradmoor Island restoration sites. Project outcomes inform restoration strategies that limit invasion of vulnerable tidal systems, which will be put to use by the Department of Water Resources in the planning and implementation of restoration projects, including the adjacent Dutch Slough Restoration Project, as well as several other regionally significant efforts.
