Abstract
Planning and design of tidal wetlands should consider inlet characteristics, sedimentation, hydraulics, biology, and water quality, while addressing structures, utilities and material disposal. Wetland restoration requires the coordinated efforts of planners, biologists, and engineers. Studies must be conducted to optimize project features and costs, minimize adverse impacts, and determine future maintenance requirements. This paper presents general planning and design considerations based on experience from recent tidal wetland restoration projects.
