Abstract
► We assessed the efficacy of cutting marshes submitted to an experimental oil spill. ► Clean-up by cutting and removing had no effect in accelerating marsh recovery. ► Cut or uncut oil-impacted marshes fully recovered within 6 months. ► Such protocols have more aesthetical than technical support and should be avoided.
