If the non-native Spartina spp. are the only species that cover <br />more than 10% of the wetland, then the wetland should be given a dual <br />❑ Dual <br />rating (FII). The area of Spartina would be rated a Category II while the <br />rating <br />relatively undisturbed upper marsh with native species would be a <br />1/11 <br />Category I.
