PICKERING2499 North Bank Rd., Otis, Oreg<strong>on</strong> 97368; dpickering@tnc.orgOn Oreg<strong>on</strong>’s central coast, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Nature C<strong>on</strong>servancy’s Cox Island Preserve harbors <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> introducedsalt marsh grass Spartina patens (saltmeadow cordgrass), <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong>ly known infestati<strong>on</strong> in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> state.The 187-acre preserve lies in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Siuslaw River, seven miles inland from <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Pacific Coast. Spartinapatens is native to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> east coast <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> United States, found from Newfoundland to Texas. It wasprobably introduced to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> west coast in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> early 1900s. Spartina. patens invades mid-marshcommunities at elevati<strong>on</strong>s ranging from 1.83 to 2.05 meters (m) above mean low water (Frenkel andBoss 1988). Initially, it spreads primarily by rhizomes and forms circular, m<strong>on</strong>otypic stands whichcrowd out native plants and eliminate wildlife habitat. These Spartina patches accumulate sedimentand litter at a faster rate than <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> surrounding marsh vegetati<strong>on</strong>, thus altering <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> natural successi<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> site. To restore Cox Island and prevent S. patens from spreading to o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r estuaries, we fieldtestedmethods that have shown promise at c<strong>on</strong>trolling S. patens elsewhere. Covering with heavydutylandscaping fabric anchored by spikes was <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> most effective c<strong>on</strong>trol method <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> those we tried.Leaving <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fabric <strong>on</strong> for two years kills <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Spartina. After removal, native salt-marsh vegetati<strong>on</strong>re-col<strong>on</strong>izes <strong>on</strong> its own. To date, 0.81 hectares (ha) (2 acres [ac]) have been restored and ano<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r1.62 ha (4 ac) are now covered. This methodology may not be feasible for large-scale c<strong>on</strong>trol efforts<strong>on</strong> well-established infestati<strong>on</strong>s, but it is a very viable opti<strong>on</strong> for c<strong>on</strong>trol efforts at <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> most effectivetime to eliminate invasive n<strong>on</strong>-native species, during <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> early stages <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> an infestati<strong>on</strong>.Keywords: Spartina patens, n<strong>on</strong>-chemical c<strong>on</strong>trol, salt marsh management, geotextile coveringTHE SPARTINA THREATThe <strong>on</strong>ly known Oreg<strong>on</strong> occurrence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> introducedsalt marsh grass Spartina patens (saltmeadow cordgrass)occurs <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Nature C<strong>on</strong>servancy’s 187-acre Cox IslandPreserve located in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Siuslaw River. Spartina patens isnative to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> east coast <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> United States, found fromNewfoundland to Texas. It was probably introduced to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>west coast around <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> turn <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> 20 th century.Spartina. patens invades mid-marsh communities atelevati<strong>on</strong>s ranging from 1.83 to 2.05 meters (m) above meanlow water (Frenkel and Boss 1988). Initially, it spreadsprimarily by rhizomes and forms circular, m<strong>on</strong>otypic standswhich crowd out native plants and eliminate wildlife habitat.These Spartina patches accumulate sediment and litter at afaster rate than <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> surrounding marsh vegetati<strong>on</strong>, thusaltering <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> natural successi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> site.At Cox Island, S. patens apparently established inundisturbed vegetati<strong>on</strong> before 1939. Since <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>n, it spread tocover approximately 1.1 hectares (ha) (2.7 acres [ac]) by1996. If unc<strong>on</strong>trolled, it could c<strong>on</strong>tinue to spread until allavailable habitat is occupied (Frenkel and Boss 1988).EARLY DETECTION PARTNERSHIPO<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r invasive species <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Spartina from <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> east coasthave become established in Washingt<strong>on</strong> and California. Forexample, S. alterniflora has infested Willapa Bay inWashingt<strong>on</strong> where it is eliminating an important feedingarea for migratory waterfowl by invading mudflats andforming a Spartina m<strong>on</strong>oculture (Aberle 1993).Studies indicate that 13 Oreg<strong>on</strong> estuaries are at risk <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>invasi<strong>on</strong> by n<strong>on</strong>-native Spartina species (Daehler and Str<strong>on</strong>g1996). Seeds or o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r propagules could be dispersed to newareas by migratory waterfowl, dredging operati<strong>on</strong>s, shellfishharvesting or movement <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> materials between oysterproducingareas. Early detecti<strong>on</strong> is essential to prevent newinfestati<strong>on</strong>s in Oreg<strong>on</strong> (Pfauth et al. 2003).The Nature C<strong>on</strong>servancy has partnered with <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Oreg<strong>on</strong>Department <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Agriculture (ODA) and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> SiuslawWatershed Council to c<strong>on</strong>trol Spartina <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Cox IslandPreserve and to detect any new infestati<strong>on</strong>s in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> state. In2003, ODA developed a Spartina Resp<strong>on</strong>se Plan to protectOreg<strong>on</strong> estuaries from Spartina invasi<strong>on</strong>s (Pfauth et al.2003). Nature C<strong>on</strong>servancy and Watershed Councilmembers have volunteered to survey salt marsh areas in twoestuaries for invasive Spartina species. Two patches <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> S.patens were found in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Siuslaw Estuary <strong>on</strong> propertyadjacent to Cox Island and were c<strong>on</strong>trolled. No o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>rSpartina was found.RESTORING COX ISLANDTo restore Cox Island and prevent S. patens fromspreading to o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r estuaries in Oreg<strong>on</strong>, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> NatureC<strong>on</strong>servancy field-tested several c<strong>on</strong>trol methods from 1996- 263 -

Leaving <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fabric <strong>on</strong> for two yearseffectively kills <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Spartina, leaving behind bare ground.After removal <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fabric, native salt-marsh vegetati<strong>on</strong> recol<strong>on</strong>izes<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se bare patches <strong>on</strong> its own so active planting <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>native vegetati<strong>on</strong> is not necessary.The landscaping fabric we use (Amoco 2002) is a tough,woven black plastic fabric (geotextile) that resists UV lightand holds up well in a saltwater envir<strong>on</strong>ment. We havesuccessfully used pieces <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this fabric for six c<strong>on</strong>secutiveyears (<strong>on</strong> three different patches for two years each) before itbecame too thin to block light. Since <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fabric is woven, cutedges need to be folded under so <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> wind does not unravel<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> edges. This fabric is available from ACF West Inc. inPortland, Oreg<strong>on</strong> (1-800-878-5115 or 503-771-5115). Itscost ranged from $315/roll (picked up) to $385/roll (locallydelivered). These rolls c<strong>on</strong>tain 6,300 square feet (ft 2) <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fabric and measure 18 ft x 350 ft.To install <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fabric, we identify <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> spatial limits <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>patch, mow <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> vegetati<strong>on</strong> around <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> boundary <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> patchso <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fabric lays flat, cut a piece <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fabric <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sufficient sizeto extend well bey<strong>on</strong>d <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> border <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> patch, and pin inplace with gutter spikes every two to three feet al<strong>on</strong>g <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>edges while pulling <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fabric taut. The fabric should extenda minimum <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> two feet bey<strong>on</strong>d <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> edge <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> patches to helpprevent any rhizomes from growing out bey<strong>on</strong>d <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>covering. We fold <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> edge <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fabric under and push aspike with a washer (to keep <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> head <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> spike fromgoing through <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fabric) through <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fabric and pound itinto <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> substrate. If <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> ground is too s<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>t in places to get agood grip with <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> gutter spikes, we use nine-inch nailsinstead. (These also tend to last l<strong>on</strong>ger in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> saltwaterenvir<strong>on</strong>ment and do not need washers.). We angle <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> spikestoward <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> center <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> covering as we drive <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>m in to helpprevent <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> tidal currents and wind from pulling up <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>edges. If additi<strong>on</strong>al anchoring is needed, for example wheretwo pieces <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fabric overlap, two spikes can be driven in atopposite angles in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> same spot.In <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fall <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 1998, we began efforts to c<strong>on</strong>trol <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> smalloutlier patches <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Spartina before <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y could turn into largepatches. This strategy <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> beginning with small outliers hasproven to be <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> most effective way to c<strong>on</strong>tain a n<strong>on</strong>-nativespecies invasi<strong>on</strong> (Moody and Mack 1988). As <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 2004, wehave c<strong>on</strong>trolled all <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> outliers and are making progress<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> main infestati<strong>on</strong> area. The Spartina in this area hasgrown from three patches in 1939 to a Spartina meadowtoday. We are covering <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> perimeters <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se meadows tohalt <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir spread and will work towards <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir interiors insuccessive years. Each year we mow flowering patches thathave not yet been covered to prevent seed set. The patchesare mowed from mid- to late-August with gas-poweredstring trimmers and are cut well above <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> ground surface toavoid tearing out rhizomes that might spread <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> infestati<strong>on</strong>.Overall, we have successfully restored about 0.81 ha (2ac) <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> former Spartina patches to native salt marsh. At leastano<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r 1.62 ha (4 ac) are currently covered with fabric. Weestimate that 0.43 ha (1.1 ac) <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> large Spartina patchesremain unc<strong>on</strong>trolled <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> island, which we hope to coverby <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> end <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 2005. C<strong>on</strong>trolling this invasive species <strong>on</strong> CoxIsland will not <strong>on</strong>ly restore native salt marsh to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> island,but will also help to prevent Spartina's spread to o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r parts<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Siuslaw Estuary and to o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r estuaries in Oreg<strong>on</strong> andWashingt<strong>on</strong>.I believe this weed c<strong>on</strong>trol method shows promise foruse <strong>on</strong> o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r invasive species as well (we are currently tryingit <strong>on</strong> upland grasses and reed canarygrass [Phalarisarundinacea]). While it may not be practical for wellestablished invasive species populati<strong>on</strong>s that cover morethan 4-8 ha (~10-20 ac), it is a viable n<strong>on</strong>-chemical c<strong>on</strong>trolmethod for outlier patches and small pi<strong>on</strong>eering infestati<strong>on</strong>s<strong>on</strong> a site.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSWe are very grateful to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> following for providingfunding for this project: NOAA/TNC Community-basedRestorati<strong>on</strong> Program; Oreg<strong>on</strong> Watershed EnhancementBoard; Oreg<strong>on</strong> Department <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Agriculture's Oreg<strong>on</strong> StateWeed Board, Noxious Weed C<strong>on</strong>trol Grant Program; andU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, North American WetlandsC<strong>on</strong>servati<strong>on</strong> Act, Small Grants Program.REFERENCESAberle, B.L. 1993.
