Who Will Use The Wetlands Ecosystem Goals?
The wetlands ecosystem goals, and the data and other information on which they are based, will be made available to the community at large. Anyone who wants to implement the goals will be invited to do so, but no entity will be required to implement them. In this respect, the goals will be a collective vision, but not a requirement. The goals should be useful to many entities involved in protecting and improving wetlands. These may include city and county planning departments that wish to better protect wetlands through zoning; open space and park districts; resource conservation districts interested in conducting wetlands restoration or enhancement projects; private landowners seeking to improve wetlands on their properties; and State and Federal resource agencies involved in wetlands regulation or mandated to protect fish and wildlife and their supporting wetland habitats.
