Cove Park and Live Oak Park at Whitney Lake, Ingleside, TX 78362
Check the tidal-marsh wetland condition.
A surveyor sets a quadrat frame at the wetland edge at Cove Park and Live Oak Park at Whitney Lake and photographs the plants inside it, logging percent cover. Read all of it
Not funded yet. Settles as earned credit, $100 proposed.
Proof it takes, the deadline, the level
- Proofphoto transect from the boardwalk/dock + vegetation-cover estimate + GPS + ranked follow-on note

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Check the tidal-marsh wetland condition at Live Oak Park's Whitney Lake. This protected tidal-marsh wetland and upland buffer at Whitney Lake and McCampbell Slough has no current condition baseline, and the observation deck's docks and boardwalks give the perfect stand-off vantage to build one.
Fund it for $100. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
No special training is needed, but never sample alone. Document only from the boardwalk, dock or observation platform, and never step into the marsh or soft tidal mud; city parks staff coordinate the follow-on planting visit; stay on the bank or boardwalk.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- GPS phone
- quadrat frame
- invasive-species ID reference
- boots
- insect protection
- camera
Steps
- 1. Navigate to the wetland edge; record GPS; stay on stable ground.
- 2. Photograph 3 quadrat stations.
- 3. At each station, estimate percent cover native vs invasive; identify the dominant invasive.
- 4. Note hydrology / water level and any disturbance.
- 5. Enter cover percentages, invasive ID, hydrology, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- Photo transect taken from the boardwalk, dock, or observation platform
- Vegetation cover and open-water estimate recorded
- Any bare or eroding marsh edge noted
- Ranked follow-on note naming the reach for native wetland-edge planting
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Wetland Condition. Wetlands are the landscape's kidneys and nurseries at once: they filter the water, absorb the flood, and raise the young of half the creatures around them. The EPA's rapid assessment gives a trained visitor a way to grade one honestly: the plants present, the water's path, the soil, the wear at the edges. Mastery looks like walking a marsh and knowing, defensibly, how it is doing and what threatens it. This packet is one such visit, one wetland's condition recorded to the method. What is watched can be defended; unwatched wetlands quietly disappear.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage, plus one Vealth service fee of 10% shown apart; the worker is paid the whole wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1785181037680_yn1pgto","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
