| Notes | Looks at marsh restoration in the Salmon River following the breaching of dikes in 1978, 1987 and 1996 to examine "fish density, available prey resources, and diet composition of wild juvenile Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (chinook salmon).""Tracking the development of recovering emergent marsh ecosystems in the Salmon River estuary reveals significant fish and invertebrate response in the first 2 to 3 years after marsh restoration. This pulse of productivity in newly restored systems is part of the trajectory of development and indicates some level of early functionality and the efficacy of restoring estuarine marshes for juvenile salmon habitat."
