Abstract Long Description

Volume 2 translates the science into guidance for protecting and managing wetlands at the local level. To develop the guidance, the department of Ecology and Fish and Wildlife worked with the Core Team that oversees the project and whose members developed Volume 1 (see Related Publications above). In addition, an advisory team of wetlands and planning staff from an assortment of local governments provided feedback on the guidance. Ecology also met with members of various organizations from the business and environmental communities.
