In this website it stated that,“The Clapper Rail is usually hidden in dense cover, but sometimes we see it stalking boldly along the muddy edge of the marsh, twitching its short tail as it walks, or swimming across a tidal creek” (Clapper Rail). This study give us the detailed descriptions of the bird and its surrounding, which help us know where to start on the Change Project. This web page help us immediately identify the problem and a way to change it.

This article included many information such as,“Clapper rail survival patterns were consistent with hybrid Spartina providing increased refuge cover from predators during tidal extremes which flood native vegetation, particularly during the winter when the vegetation senescence” (Invasive Species…). We know that the most important factor that affects the clapper rail’s population is their surrounding, in order to help them we must start by removing invasive plants and replace it with plants that is helpful. The increase in invasive plants decrease the amount of spaces in which the clapper rail can build their nest, it causes many birds to die because of the lack of habitats. The invasive plants can also kill the harmless plants by taking away their nutrient, and it might take away all the possible space for nests. We can change this by replacing the invasive plants with harmless plants and even build nests for clapper
