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 on 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 practitioners through submission of
project information to the NOAA Estuary Habitat Program manager.
Project summaries will be accessible to the public via internet for
projects funded by the Estuary Habitat Restoration
Program.
Since the 2013 submission, our
estimate has been revised from 31 respondents to 15, with a
corresponding decrease in hours. Based on the funding stream and
status of the program, 15 is a more realistic estimate.
