The basic tenet underlying this plan is that a water level fluctuation in the marsh,naturally achieved in the past, must be restored. The plan is developed around the five management units (Figure 1) described in the Delta Framework plan (Nero and Larche 1973). Each unit was examined for water availability and requirements, special problems and suitable management.WEST UNIT: A heavy loss of wildlife production occurs in years the Portage diversion fail-safe, a low stretch of dyke, is used. Interior dyking is thus required to protect approximately three-quarters of the marsh. This and a secondary ditch drainage system will be free-flow systems available for fish and waterfowl production. The bulk of this unit will be divided into four managed sub-units.
