If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the segment with county parks staff and photograph the bare shoreline fringe before entering the water.
2. 2. Wade to the marked fringe segment at low tide, hand tools only, no power equipment.
3. 3. Hand plant black mangrove propagules at the design spacing into the sediment.
4. 4. Mark each planted propagule with a temporary flag for monitoring, and photograph the planted fringe from the matching before vantage, recording propagule count.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the bare shoreline fringe
• Confirmation only hand tools were used, no power equipment
• Black mangrove propagule count recorded
• After photo of the planted fringe from the matching vantage

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Coastal Habitat. Coastal habitat is the green fringe where land meets sea: eelgrass meadows, kelp beds, salt marsh. Acre for acre these are among the most life-giving places on Earth, nursery to the fish and buffer to the storm, and NOAA's assessment methods exist because they are quietly shrinking. Mastery looks like a person who can survey a stretch of shore and say, with evidence, whether the meadow is spreading or retreating. This packet is one piece of that watching: one site, one careful observation, one record added to the long ledger of the coast.
