. Ecological study of the Amoco Cadiz oil spill : report of the NOAA-CNEXO Joint Scientific Commission . FIGURE 18. Surveying to determine the elevation of our plantings in relation to that of the natural marsh at lie Grande, May 1981. Note transplants on creek banks between surveyors and on right creek bank toward the village from the white stake. 1981 Plantings Based on results of all earlier plantings, we established 2 1 additional experimental plantings in May 1981 utilizing about 4900 transplants at lie Grande. Most of the planting effort was concentrated on establishing cover on the bare creek banks which were at this time beginning to erode due to decay of the binding root mat and undercutting by tidal waters (Fig. 19). Two rows of Halimione transplants (sprigs) were planted on the edge of the creek banks with two rows of Puccinellia transplants (plugs) adjacent to and toward the marsh along several intertidal creeks (Fig. 20). Many other areas, still bare of vegetation 2 years after the catastrophe, were planted to increase the probability of revegetation (Figs. 21, 22, 23). All transplants were spaced apart. Cover was determined for selected plantings. All experimental plantings were surveyed to determine relative elevations, and the photographic record was continued. 376
