Description: GBF’s Marsh Mania is the nationally-recognized, signature community-based wetlands restoration and education event of the Galveston Bay area. The goal of Marsh Mania is to involve local citizens in hands-on wetlands restoration activities while increasing their awareness and appreciation of wetland habitats and functions. The first Marsh Mania was held in 1999, that year known as “Marsh Bash.” This one-day event set a national record when 1,500 volunteers planted nearly 70,000 stems of smooth cordgrass to create 14.5 acres of new habitat at 8 sites around the bay. In its thirteen years, Marsh Mania has involved more than 6,381 community volunteers in the restoration of over 195 acres of vital salt marsh habitat at 69 sites around Galveston Bay.
