Voucher for the Index of Biological Integrity (IBI" sponsored by the USGS, USDA/NRCS, and EPA) as part of a project to evaluate natural and restored wetlands managed by the State of Maryland Department of Natural Resources, The Nature Conservancy, USFWS, USDA/NRCS, Chesapeake Wildlife Heritage, Maryland Department of the Environment, and Delaware Division of Soil and Water. Wetlands in the IBI study were restored between 1988 and 1995. Most sites were seeded with grasses to prevent erosion and left to succession.
