Projects in this category aim to provide a consistent method of analysis
for marsh dieback and nutria control data
and to provide a central location for the collection, integration, synthesis,
and redistribution of marsh dieback and nutria control data.
Task III.1
Receive and post (on LACOAST website) data, reports and other information
related to current and previous studies on marsh dieback and nutria
control. Maintain data standards for long-term storage and retrieval
that are consistent with National Science Foundations Long Term
Ecological Research standards. Respond to data and information requests
related to marsh dieback and nutria control.

Task III.2
Provide an assessment and synthesis of the marsh dieback phenomenon
within and outside of Louisiana, and a conceptual model describing potential
causes and mechanisms of actions.

Task III.3
Project the potential long term impact to coastal wetlands (loss in
acres) and the associated plant and animal communities from marsh dieback.
Incorporate information from ongoing studies of the Status and Trends
and Causation tasks as available and applicable.

Task III.4
Project potential socioeconomic impacts from marsh dieback. Incorporate
information from ongoing studies of the Status and Trends and Causation
tasks as available and the results of task III.3. Socioeconomic considerations
include but are not limited to infrastructure, drinking water supplies,
storm and flood protection, living resources, industries, and mineral
resource extraction.
