Tracing over two decades of progress in wetland restoration, this book provides a pragmatic, goal-oriented approach to this often controversial subject. The authors draw on four long-term case studies from across the United States to show what a successful restoration is like and what we can learn from it. They demonstrate not only that wetland restoration can succeed, but also how to use it to reverse losses of the last two centuries. Key public policy issues surrounding wetland restoration along with future trends are also examined.
