Restoration and Protection Planning
Integrating biological data from nearshore habitat assessments with physical, land use and landowner willingness data, FRIENDS has conducted multiple analyses to identify habitat protection and restoration priorities. Shoreline analysis project results directly support efforts to strategically protect the best remaining shoreline habitats; implement enhancement and restoration projects in the most feasible and ecologically significant places, and effectively administer and update shoreline protection policies. |
