General survey design in emergent marsh habitat is valuable for estimating abundance of common species (e.g., VIRA, SORA, AMBI). General survey design is not useful for estimating abundance of rare species (e.g., KIRA) and is unlikely to inform management decisions. Stratification within a general design would allow for tailoring monitoring to test ecological or management hypotheses.
