This Houston Ship Channel tidal bank segment at Galena Park shows bare, eroding, or litter strewn ground above the waterline with no photo record to prioritize it for restoration. Standard: US EPA National Wetland Condition Assessment rapid method, applied here to the Houston Ship Channel tidal bank at Galena Park, Harris County, Texas. SDG 6.6 and 15.1. Proof: document only stand off photo log plus bank condition note plus GPS plus ranked follow on note Method (US EPA National Wetland Condition Assessment rapid method, applied here to the Houston Ship Channel tidal bank at Galena Park, Harris County, Texas. SDG 6.6 and 15.1.): 1. 1. From the public Clinton Drive right of way, photograph a Houston Ship Channel tidal bank segment without entering the water. 2. 2. Note whether the bank shows bare ground, erosion, invasive choked vegetation, or litter above the tidal waterline. 3. 3. Photograph the nearest street sign or landmark for the crew's reference. 4. 4. Record a ranked follow on note naming the segment for the tidal bank restoration crew. Done when: document only stand off photo log plus bank condition note plus GPS plus ranked follow on note

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: EPA National Wetland Condition Assessment (rapid method)

Bring

• GPS phone
• quadrat frame
• invasive-species ID reference
• boots
• insect protection
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the wetland edge; record GPS; stay on stable ground.
2. 2. Photograph 3 quadrat stations.
3. 3. At each station, estimate percent cover native vs invasive; identify the dominant invasive.
4. 4. Note hydrology / water level and any disturbance.
5. 5. Enter cover percentages, invasive ID, hydrology, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Standing water + wildlife (snakes/alligators) -> maintain distance; never sample alone.
• High invasive cover -> flag for a management/removal plan.

What counts as done

• Percent cover native vs invasive recorded at 3 stations
• Dominant invasive species identified
• Hydrology / water-level note recorded
• GPS waypoints + quadrat photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
