Abstract: Abstract
Recovery of vegetation on a Long Island, NY salt marsh was investigated
after the removal of hurricane-deposited large wooden debris through
managed clean-ups involving volunteers. Two years after the removal of
the debris, vegetation cover and species composition were not
significantly different from controls. There was no significant
difference in vegetation recovery among fall and spring debris removal
treatments. Initial vegetation cover of the experimental and control
plots was 95.8% and 1.2%, respectively; after two growing seasons cover
was 78.7% and 71.2%, respectively. The effects of trampling by
volunteers during debris removal were monitored and after one growing
season, trails used during a single clean-up effort had a mean
vegetation cover of 67% whereas those that were used during multiple
clean-up efforts had only 30% cover. We use the results of this study to
offer guidance for organizing effective salt marsh clean-up efforts.

The Project SORT team and 6th grade students followed the high tide line, having fun “extracting” dock parts, bottles, plastic and other debris from the edges of the creek. Dodie Sanders, Project SORT’s lead said, “We have discovered that a lot of marine debris gets trapped high into the marsh along the creek’s edge and there was plenty of it! I do not think I have ever seen so much debris at any of our other sites.”
