Plant native coastal vegetation on a bare Tunis lagoon-edge patch

Bare patches along the Tunis lagoon edge erode faster and filter less runoff than stretches still holding native plant cover — replanting one patch at a time helps hold the edge and clean what runs into the water. Standard: UNEP / Ramsar coastal and nearshore habitat guidance — SDG 14 (Life Below Water). Proof: Before/after photos of the planted patch. Method (UNEP / Ramsar coastal and nearshore habitat guidance — SDG 14 (Life Below Water).): 1. Confirm the patch is public land. 2. Clear litter and loose debris from the patch. 3. Dig small planting holes with a hand trowel. 4. Plant native, salt-tolerant seedlings the host names as locally appropriate. 5. Water the new planting and photograph the finished patch. Done when: Before/after photos of the planted patch.

Pay

$220 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

Before/after photos of the planted patch.

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.
