Region,"S. Cal, C. Cal, N. Cal, OR, WA"
Invasives_present? List if Y,"Does the report mention that the presence of invasive (non-native) species within their restoration area? (Invasives? Other prevalent species in restoration sites? If Yes, list)"
UsedSiteSuitabilityModel_YN,"Do they use a site suitability model to identify areas where they are going to plant? Or do they just select one based on their own observations? If nothing is specified about how the site was selected, write ND"
MitVsNonMit,"Type (Mitigation, Non-mitigation)"
ActiveVsPassive,"Typically, this will be 'Active' - they are actively transplanting shoots into the ground. Passive projects do not plant, rather change the sediment and hope the eelgrass comes back"
AddedSupplementalTransplantsMid-project_YN,"Sometimes over the duration of a 5 year project, consultant will realize they are not going to reach their targets restoration areas or densities for sucess, so part way through the project, they will add in more transplanted grass shoots. In this case, write Y. Typically, it will be N though."
Method_Category,"Type/method of restoration applied. If two methods are used, use both, separated by a comma"

Ref. bed initial average cover/size (m2) (at time of transplant),"How large in meters squared was the reference meadow/bed at the time that the restoration sites were planted? (this value will be the same for each monitoring time because it is the ""starting area"")"
Ref. bed final average cover/size (m2),How large in meters squared was the reference meadow/bed at the time that the restoration sites were monitored? (this value will change in rows below for each plot's different monitoring time) 
Ref. bed initial average shoot density (shoots/m2) (at time of transplant),How densely planted (in shoots per meter squared) are the shoots upon transplant (AKA transplant density) 
Ref. bed initial SD shoot density (shoots/m2) (at time of transplant),"Same the column to the left, but the standard deviation, when reported. "
Ref. bed average shoot density (shoots/m2) - final,How dense (in shoots per meter squared) are the shoots upon monitoring?
Ref. bed SD shoot density (shoots/m2) - Final,"Same the column to the left, but the standard deviation, when reported. "
Ref. bed initial % cover,How dense (in % cover) was the ref bed when the transplant occurred?
Ref. bed final % cover,How dense (in % cover) was the ref bed upon monitoring?
Notes on reference or natural bed,Notes and additional info on the reference or natural meadows
Year_of_restoration_planting,Year restoration transplanting/implementation occurred
Month_of_restoration_planting,Month restoration transplanting/implementation occurred
Season_of_restoration_planting,Season of restoration implementation
Number of years monitored (time between restoration and last monitoring date) ,"How long was the project, from the time they planted, until the last time they monitored the restored plot?"
Frequency of monitoring post-restoration,"If the practitioner transplanted shoots and came back and monitored them 2 months, 6 month, and 40 months after transplanting write ""2, 6, 40 months"""
Time of monitoring ('months after restoration'),Number of months after the transplant associated with the data across this row (i.e. monitoring time in months)
"If mitigation- what was the actual mitigation ratio? (ratio of 1.2:1, input as '1.2')",Reported mitigation ratio applied
"Average depth of area restored (AKA where they planted) (Feet, to MLLW)","Often not reported, but pulled when available. MLLW= the depth raltive to mean low low water."
Depth Notes/Qualitative Info,"Other depth info, often qualitative. For example, 'plots were shallow'. "
"Plot latitude (if not exact, write 'ND')","If they report the exact coordinates of their plots, write them in"
"Plot longitude (if not exact, write 'ND')","If they report the exact coordinates of their plots, write them in"
Total number of shoots transplanted (OR flowering shoots deployed for seeding OR total in initial area for passive rest.),Total number of shoot across the entire project they planted
Transplanted/initial area (m2) (for passive- area of starting eelgrass area present pre-restoration),"Total area transplanted, as reported by the practitioner"
Final area restored (m2),"Total area upon monitoring, as reported by the practitioner"
Transplanted/initial shoot density (1msq) (for passive restoration - pre-project shoot density),Transplanted shoot density 
Final shoot density (1msq),Monitored shoot density
Final shoot density (+/- SD),(self explanatory)
Transplanted/initial vegetative cover (%),Percent cover of vegetative material upon transplant
Final vegetative cover (%),Percent cover of vegetative material upon monitoring

Did it meet shoot density 'success' criteria?,Did the project implementor qualify that the project met shoot density 'success' criteria (Y/N/ND)
Notes,(self explanatory)
Wasting disease,"Did they measure wasting disease (Y/N)? (not relevant if they found it or not, but just if they measured it. AKA if they measured wasting disease but found none, this would be Y. If they did not measure it at all, it would be N"
