Abstract
► We evaluate marine debris impacts to a North Carolina salt marsh. ► We examine changes in shoot density and height resulting from debris accumulation. ► Immediate and sustained impacts occur from vehicle tires. ► Impacts from crab pots are less abrupt with short-term recovery. ► Cleanup programs should target sensitive habitats and record associated habitat data.
