Marsh terracing as a wetland restoration tool for creating fishery habitat in Calcasieu Lake/Sabine National Wildlife Refuge 1999-05-04 to 1999-09-20 (NCEI Accession 0156995)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2016-11-23T00:00:00.000+00:00
This data contains fish and invertebrate counts, weights, and measurements important to identify and describe the relationship between fishery productivity and the coastal environment. Specifically, to examine nursery utilization of estuarine marshes by fishery species in relation to differences in salinity among sites. This study examined the habitat value of terracing at Sabine National Wildlife Refuge, Louisiana in the spring and fall of 1999 by quantifying and comparing nekton densities in a 9-yr old terrace field and nearby reference area using a 1 m2 drop sampler.
