Piggy Back Topic: Seeding Marsh Ideas/Methods

Didn’t want to derail the other threads.
What have y’all done in marsh situations to improve feed for ducks?
I have brackish marsh, with no water control. TONS of hyacinths that the tide moves. East bank of plaquemines parish.
I have ordered wild rice from River Refuge Seed Company. Hurricane came in nicely salted the growth as of that time. But that is a risk we will run.
Also, any thoughts on controlling the hyacinths? Thought about putting orange plastic fencing at most of the open cuts, but there are large open areas and there is no way to cover every entrance.
TIA

I’ve use 1” poly rope to block canal entrances to keep hyacinth out of a duck hole with good success. It provides enough tension that the hyacinth stacks up against the floating rope. Zip tie it off between two poles and leave enough slack for tide movement. It may not keep it all out but will be a big improvement. Would also be much easier to handle than the orange fencing.

Guys on old lease tried oil booms with some success.
