Document Description
The Spartina Control Program (SCP) proposes to implement a number of treatment techniques (tools) to eradicate the four invasive non-native cordgrass species. These include a range of manual, mechanical, and chemical techniques including hand digging, smothering, use of herbicides, dredging, mowing, maceration, burning, and flooding. The geographic focus includes the nearly 40,000 acres of tidal marsh and 29,000 acres of tidal flats that comprise the shoreline areas of the nine Bay Area counties, including Alameda, Contra, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma Counties. Currently, about 5,000 gross acres of marshland are infested with about 500 net acres of invasive cordgrasses.
