Abstract Long Description

The Mitigation that Works Forum was convened by the Washington State Department of Ecology. The Forum was made up of 22 members representing state and federal agencies with mitigation responsibilities, local governments, ports, business, environmental, and land use/conservation interests. Near the end of the Forum process, Tribal governments offered their perspective on improving mitigation.

The Forum met 11 times beginning in November 2007 and ending in October 2008. Meetings were open to the public and opportunities for public comment were provided at each meeting. Forum members heard presentations by experts and practitioners in mitigation, and engaged one another in dialogue to identify and focus their recommendations.

This report details the Forum's recommendations on how to improve all aspects of aquatic resources mitigation.
