What is the scientific basis for the development and implementation of the HCP?
The HCP is based on a series of scientific studies conducted in the Etowah watershed and on reviews of the best available scientific information from other regions. The science of the HCP has been independently reviewed by scientists with expertise in the field. Studies conducted as part of the HCP have been published in leading peer-reviewed professional journals. All research can be found at the Etowah HCP website at www.etowahhcp.org.
