Detailed Description
Methods of addressing problems of subsidence and increasing carbon storage at White Slough include: 1] reuse of sediment to fill subsided areas and restore elevations that support marsh vegetation (left), and 2] breaching historic dikes in order to restore tidal hydrology (right).

Coastal vegetated habitats, such as tidal wetlands, play an active role in the global carbon cycle. This is done through the removal of CO2 by living vegetation through photosynthesis and by the decay of organic matter and its burial for hundreds to thousands of years.
