Abstract

The Teaching Marsh at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science is a one acre site restored to marshland for both practical and educational purposes. The marsh is designed and maintained by VIMS wetlands experts to naturally remove contaminants from Coleman Bridge storm water runoff, improving water quality in the York River.

The brochure describes the development, site, and plants selected for the field project.
