The scenarios compare: (1) ‘What we might have done,’ (2) ‘What we are doing,’ and (3) ‘What we could do next.’ Recreation is measured in ‘PUD’ or photo-user days, a proxy for the number of visitors. Carbon sequestration is measured from 2018–2050 for existing marsh and from 2030–2050 for new marsh.
