Restoration of Coastal Habitats: An Evaluation of NOAA’s Current and Potential Role Ecosystem Science and Management Working Group NOAA Science Advisory Board

چکیده
Restoration is a significant component of NOAA’s work and continues to increase. NOAA has played a central role in thousands of restoration projects. Those projects appear to be increasing in number and scale, both in dollars and acres. NOAA increasingly serves as an advisor on the best use of significant levels of restoration funds. NOAA is one of a very small handful of truly global leaders in coastal and marine restoration. The organization is widely regarded for its expertise and involvement in restoration of salt marsh, oyster reef, coral reef, and seagrass habitats (e.g., recreation, preservation, fish production). Support for restoration from stakeholders, constituents, and elected officials is often garnered by touting these multiple benefits that can be provided by restoration projects. There are, however, questions as to how well restoration projects deliver any of these benefits and, if they are being designed to do so, are effectively measured.
