Coastal Wetland Restoration Plant Fact Sheets

When designing a wetland restoration project, such as a living shoreline, mitigation, or treatment wetland, plant selection is one of the most important decisions to be made. Even if everything else is planned perfectly, the wrong plants can lead to project failure. Plant selection depends on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, salinity, elevation, and flood tolerance.

These fact sheets provide information on a variety of wetland plants that may be used for shoreline restoration projects. Each plant fact sheet includes pictures, listed environmental tolerances, informational websites, and helpful tips for planting.
