Appendix #1 Marsh/Upland Components, Earthworks. By Ocean Earth

Under co-copyright agreements with earth artists like Dennis Oppenheim using on-site testing, development of earthworks and outdoor structures (e.g. Dry Wells, Dead Furrow, Bird Cages, Lightening Field) the project aims to revive oases and marshes, strengthen surface water flows, slow down overflows with meanders, and broaden animal diversity.

Cones and cages effect microhabitat.

Underground animal paths absorb aquifer.

Hole near salt flats collects freshwater.

Convex disc marshes control stream flow.

The project is located along bird/insect migratory pathways. It readies terrain for large populations of wild animals, the land becomes suited for cropping by youthful hunting gangs. The project is targeted for drought-threatened hinterlandsa. It is useful also in res-toring marshes or estuaries, especially for maximizing saltwater-freshwater mixing to raise ocean productivity.
