This Master{\textquoteright}s thesis examines tidal marsh vegetation to see if restored marshes exhibit the biodiversity of natural marshes.  In 1962, three tidal marshes were diked to provide pasture land.  These dikes have been sequentially removed:  Mitchell Marsh in 1978, Y-Marsh in 1987 and Salmon Creek Marsh in 1996.  One undisturbed tidal marsh is used as a reference for natural biodiversity.  As it turns out, you can{\textquoteright}t wave a wand (or breach a dike) and instantly restore biodiversity.  {\textquotedblleft}Vegetation of restored salt marshes is significantly less diverse and more spatially homogeneous than that of reference sites, even four decades post-restoration.
