Abstract/Summary:
Given the broad scope of the subject matter, this document is designed to achieve two goals: Introduce non-technical readers to the basics of wetland projects including planning, implementing, and monitoring, and direct interested persons to documents and resources specific to a particular region or wetland type. The document is organized around these two goals. The text gives information on wetlands, background on the practice of restoration, and information on the process involved in undertaking a wetland project. The appendices provide documents, web sites, agencies, and other resources for finding additional information and advice on restoration, creation, and enhancement projects.
