dc.description.abstract |
Wetlands provide a variety of ecological, economic, and social values and are deteriorating
rapidly because of anthropogenic impacts. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)
made compensatory mitigation and “no net loss” of the nation’s wetlands the main regulatory
tool for wetland management. It also made wetland restoration projects key to successfully
achieve the regulatory goals set out in the CWA. Stakeholder partnerships consist
of representatives from private interest groups, local public agencies, and state
or federal agencies who work as a group, periodically and indefinitely, on particular
issues or projects. Partnerships are becoming more popular in solving environmental
problems and engaging local communities in restoration projects. This project aims
to inform how wetland restoration projects engage with local stakeholder partnerships
in southeast Alaska through comparing stakeholder partnerships utilized in six restoration
projects throughout the Puget Sound area in Washington State. Project findings inform
stakeholders in southeast Alaska about what partnerships foster and facilitate successful
wetland restoration projects. The main recommendations for project stakeholders include:
partnering with a primary monitoring stakeholder and partnering with a primary grant
and project managing stakeholder.
