Resource Management
Hydrology
Installing more water control gates would help with restoring the wetland’s hydrology. It would also help with reducing some of the impacts such as flooding in the nearby communities.
Plant Diversity
Restoration of plant diversity such as the White Atlantic Cedar through forest management would help to reduce habitat fragmentation and increase biodiversity for both plant and animals.
Fire
By re-wetting the peat carbon sequestration is restored and the incidences of fire within the swamp would decrease. Fire was a natural event, however suppressing wildfires and conducting prescribed fires would maintain the biodiversity within the swamp.
