Plant native dune species at the Ormond Beach restoration edges the host marks

Where the restoration program has prepped ground, volunteer-scale native planting (sand verbena, beach evening primrose, dune buckwheat) rebuilds the dune structure the plovers and the flood buffer both need. Standard: Coastal Conservancy restoration planting palettes for southern dunes. SDG 14/15. Proof: planted-zone photos + species tally + GPS Method (Coastal Conservancy restoration planting palettes for southern dunes. SDG 14/15.): 1. Work only the host-marked planting zones on the scheduled day. 2. Plant plugs to the host's spacing; water in per instruction. 3. Flag each plug; tally species counts. 4. Photograph planted zones; submit counts and GPS. Done when: planted-zone photos + species tally + GPS

Pay

$80 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

planted-zone photos + species tally + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: NOAA coastal habitat (eelgrass / salt marsh) extent + condition

Bring

• tide table
• GPS phone
• quadrat frame
• measuring tape
• boots/waders
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Check the tide table; plan to work the low tide; tell someone your plan and return time.
2. 2. Navigate to the habitat edge; record GPS waypoints along the patch/edge.
3. 3. Photograph the meadow/marsh at low tide.
4. 4. Record shoot/stem density per quadrat and estimate patch extent (or edge scarp height for marsh).
5. 5. Note condition (epiphytes, dieback, wrack) and adjacent land use/armoring.
6. 6. Enter density, extent, condition, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Soft mud / rising tide -> stop and retreat; safety over data.
• Edge retreat or heavy dieback observed -> flag for living-shoreline / protection planning.

What counts as done

• Density (shoots/stems per quadrat) recorded
• Patch extent or edge position recorded via GPS
• Condition + adjacent-use note recorded
• Low-tide photos + GPS waypoints

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
