National Program for Wetlands Restoration and Creation. Report of the InteragencyCommittee on Wetlands Restoration and Creation

摘要

In August 1991, President Bush announced a comprehensive plan for improving theprotection of the nation's wetlands. That plan included an Administration-wide wetlands restoration and creation program on federal lands which has subsequently been expanded to include voluntary federally-assisted restoration activities on nonfederal lands. An Interagency Federal Lands Wetlands Restoration and Creation Committee was established and charged to coordinate federal restoration and creation projects and to establish criteria and recommendations for redirecting future agency spending in restoring and creating wetlands. This report contains the recommendations, criteria, and coordination vehicle to establish a National Program for Wetlands Restoration and Creation.
