This project created 335 acres of marsh and 28,342 linear feet of earthen containment dike in Bayou Grande Cheniere, Louisiana. This project utilized sediment materials from the Mississippi River borrow areas. This marsh and containment dike will enhance biodiversity and coastal protection from erosion and wave action.  

Marsh Island is a state-owned island in the Portersville Bay portion of Mississippi Sound, Alabama. This project will restore 50 acres of salt marsh at Marsh Island to prevent erosion and rebuild habitat. The site will include a permeable breakwater, added sediment, and added native marsh plantings.  

Local organizations in Knox County, Indiana, campaigned to raise awareness of the environmental and economic destruction that encroaching invasive species can have on communities. Representatives from the agriculture, horticulture and landscaping industries collaborated with conservation experts and the county attorney to determine the scope of an ordinance proposal that would ban 64 invasive plant species in the county.

In 1992, Congress passed the Elwha River Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act, authorizing the removal of dams to restore the Elwha River's altered ecosystem. The Elwha Dam and Glines Canyon Dam were removed in 2011, allowing water to flow freely from the Olympic Mountains to the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

In response to the floods following tropical storm Irene, and the potential for a significant increase in the Japanese knotweed popuation, the state of Vermont hired a coordinator to develop and carry out an early detection & rapid response (EDRR) work plan to eliminate as many of these new plants as possible, using only manual labor.

Country Acres Road- Richmond, Rhode Island, was once home to mixed temperate forest with seasonal freshwater wetlands before degraded by mining of sand and gravel and dominated by invasive plants. The goal was to restore the non-forested formerly mined acreage to native grass and wildflower meadow.

University of Connecticut (UConn) received a permit to restore/ create wetland in compensation to mitigate the impact of its landfill disposal construction to adjacent freshwater wetlands. The remediation plan aimed to eliminate leachate discharge to surface waters while compensatory mitigation plan included restoration and creation of wetlands, vernal pool creation, and invasive and exotic plant species control.

The goal for restoration of the marsh located on the campus of the Rocky Hill School along the Potowomut River in East Greenwich, RI is to improve habitat for a recently discovered population of diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin). The project assembled a dataset and developed a plan to restore the marsh to increase diamondback terrapin nesting habitat.

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. 

Planned and implemented by the Tribe’s Fish and Wildlife Department, this unique program of watershed restoration and riparian conservation has been rooted in traditional Zuni cultural values. The causes of degradation were man-made dams, channelization, and invasive plant encroachment (i.e. Tamarix pentandra). The project reintroduced 23 beavers to sites with impaired hydrologic flow regimes.
