Biodiversity gains can be achieved with coastal wetland restoration for plants, invertebrates, birds, and bats by Valerie Hagger, Mathew A Vanderklift, Kieren P. Beaumont, Andrew Olds, Sabine Dittman, Catherine E. Lovelock

“…The multi-diversity index for the partially-restored site at the Blue Heart in Queensland was almost double that of the pre-restoration site at Webb Beach in South Australia, because of the larger extent and better condition of current vegetation types in comparison to local reference ecosystems. Plant species composition, species richness in functional groups of birds and bats, bat activity in functional groups, and benthic macroinvertebrate species diversity are promising metrics that could be refined as indicators for a standardised biodiversity method for coastal wetland restoration that could inform biodiversity crediting.…”
