The coastal marsh habitat in Blair Island, San Francisco was impaired by construction of salt ponds and dirt levees before its ecological value was recognized. The project aimed to restore the 1, 400 acres of diked marsh to tidal marsh primarily by breaching the perimeter levees to allow tidal action via surrounding slough channels.

The first wildlife overpass was constructed by the Canadian government in Banff National Park in 1982 to reduce wildlife collisions. Till 2022, six overpasses and 38 underpasses have been constructed across Banff, reducing wildlife collisions by 80 percent. The project started with opposition and criticism from the public doubting whether animals would use the structure.

In 2003, NOAA led a partnership that restored a 0.8-acre salt marsh in Bar Beach Lagoon, North Hempstead, New York, as part of a natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) settlement addressing natural resource injury damages due to release of contaminants into Hempstead Harbor. 

This project aimed to create marsh habitat and restore a ridge at the Spanish Pass Increment of the Barataria Basin in Louisiana. Spanish Pass is a natural historic tributary of the Mississippi River with degraded channel banks and adjacent marsh. This project created 397 acres of ridge and 1,261 acres of marsh habitat.  

Barataria Basin, just south of New Orleans, Louisiana contains marshes that are rapidly subsiding from leveeing of the Mississippi River and loss of regular sediment depositions. The marsh received sediment from a nearby location to increase elevation and relieve plant stress. This restoration effort increased aboveground biomass and accretion rates. 

Bayou La Branche, originally a brackish marshland, was levied and pumped into farmland before flooded into a large, open-water pond after the 1915 Hurricane. USACE and Louisiana Department of Natural Resources aimed to re-create the marsh habitat with an area of 70% land and 30% water within 5 years of construction.

A tidal marsh in Bayou Lafourche, Louisiana was degrading due to subsidence and sea-level rise, as well as a drought-induced die-off of Spartina alterniflora. 7.5 hectares of marsh was restored using thin-layer placement of dredged material. Sediment placement improved the recovery of the marsh and increased plant biomass. 

The iconic and productive Sonoran Desert landscapes of the Tuscon Basin are threatened by Buffelgrass, an invasive species introduced to the area in the 1930s. Buffelgrass alters the fire regime and is a threat to ecosystems, and human life and property. The Southern Arizona Buffelgrass Coordination Center was established in 2008 to bring stakeholders together to remove Buffelgrass effectively.  

In 2017, the Bedford Parks and Recreation Department partnered with Live Well Lawrence County to open Bedford Garden Park, a community garden. The resulting park is now a space that produces food, brings people together, and offers activities that improve physical and mental health.

Through no-till and cover-crop practices, the soil health management system an Ohio farmer practices restore and re-carbonize soil. The no-till practices increase crop yields by 36-44%, sequesters around 960 kg of carbon per hectare per year, and reduce fertilizer and herbicide use by 75 percent.

This project created a living shoreline comprised of bioengineered, marsh-fringing oyster reefs. 11.5 miles of reef breakwaters, marine mattresses, and rock revetments were placed off the shoreline to establish the bioengineered reefs. This living shoreline will provide self-sustaining coastal protection from erosion, wave action, storm surges, and sea-level rise.

Bird Track Springs is a 2-mile reach of the Upper Grande Ronde River in eastern Oregon that has been degraded and altered by human activity. The once multi-threaded, well-connected river and floodplain became a single-threaded river with little connectivity and degraded habitat. This project aims to reconnect the river to its floodplain, increase habitat complexity, and restore salmonid populations. 

The City of Bloomington began a creek naturalization project in 2002 to address significant erosion caused by intense storm water pressure and to enhance biodiversity in a popular local park. Through partnerships with local organizations, the City reduced flooding impacts, improved water quality and increased plant and animal species diversity in the improvement area.

The Blue Hole Cienega Restoration Project aims to restore the Blue Hole Ciénega, one of the largest remaining ciénegas in the Southwest. Close to 95% of ciénegas have been lost or damaged due to farming, overgrazing, draining, channelization, and drying during development.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)–Detroit District and several other partners used Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding to reconnect 340 kilometers of the Boardman River to Grand Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan. This project involved three dam removals over six years, and improved riverine habitat for important species. 

Warming temperatures threaten native species in the Madrean Sky Islands Archipelago as plants and animals cannot migrate to higher elevation under the steep slope and finite extents. Conservation organizations collaboratively document the climate vulnerability of mountain springs and facilitates restoration work to enhance habitats and protect biodiversity.

An eelgrass restoration program implemented by the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries aimed to mitigate assumed impacts to marine resources resulting from the HubLine gas pipeline construction which transits the Harbor. The restoration was intended to provide important shallow-water eelgrass habitat to juvenile crustaceans, shellfish, and finfish which commonly inhabit sea grass meadows.

Lake Ontario’s Braddock Bay has lost 123 acres of emergent wetland. The Braddock Bay Ecosystem Restoration Project was created to save and reestablish 340 acres of this coastal wetland area. This project will increase habitat for fish and wildlife, reduce erosion, manage invasive species, and increase bay-area property values. 

Multiple partners have come together to restore Pleasant Grove, a 70-acre property in Henderson County, NC. The Pleasant Grove project is part of a broader commitment to restoring the natural floodplain of the French Broad River to create new habitat for wildlife, reduce flooding impacts, and improve climate resiliency.

Brooklyn Bridge Park boasts 2 kilometers of shoreline and 14 hectares of open space that serves thousands of visitors per day. This industrial shoreline has lost natural intertidal habitats and biodiversity. The park constructed two ECO-concrete projects to enhance biodiversity:  concrete tide pools and repairing aging piles with eco-friendly substrate to recruit invertebrates.
