Collection of estuary habitat
restoration project information (e.g., location, habitat type,
goals, status, monitoring information) will be undertaken in order
to populate a restoration project database mandated by the Estuary
Restoration Act of 2000. The database is intended to provide
information to improve restoration methods, provide the basis for
required reports to Congress, and track estuary habitat acreage
restored. Estuary habitat restoration project information will be
submitted by habitat restoration project managers through an
interactive Web site, and will be accessible to the public via
Internet for data queries and project reports.
