"To determine the effect of returning a former agricultural field (Koksilah Marsh) and adjacent disturbed wetland (CN Marsh) on the Cowichan River estuary to intertidal habitat, baseline vegetation and soil-water salinity data were gathered in July and September 1985. Three permanent transects were established across the areas of propsed impact and from a total of 103 releves, 21 species of vascular plants were recorded. Seven additional species from the family Gramineae were also noted. Four plant communities were identified and are described along with elevation and soil water salinity data. Broad predictians of the resulting vegetation, following a return of the study area to tidal inundation, are made"--Abstract, p. iii.
