Partners for Fish and Wildlife is a voluntary partnership program administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service to provide financial and technical assistance to private landowners who wish to protect or restore wetlands, uplands, and riparian and instream habitats.
The city decided to restore the site to a wetlands ecosystem and use it as a tertiary treatment stage for water from the nearby wastewater treatment plant. As part of the construction of the wetlands, the city also established the Southeastern Natural Sciences Academy, which later became the Phinizy Center for Water Sciences. [2]
To do this, the NWI developed a wetland classification system (Cowardin et al. 1979) that is now the official FWS wetland classification system and the Federal standard for wetland classification (adopted by the Federal Geographic Data Committee on July 29, 1996: 61 Federal Register 39465). The NWI also developed techniques for mapping and ...
One effective solution is to restore streams and riparian habitat. This improves the entire urban watershed, far beyond the riparian channel itself. [10] Wild et al 2011 described the first known online map and database of urban river daylighting projects. [1] [11] Wild et al 2019 published geo-spatial database about all schemes. [12]
A portion of the C-38 canal, finished in 1971, now backfilled to restore the Kissimmee River floodplain to a more natural state. An ongoing effort to remedy damage inflicted during the 20th century on the Everglades, a region of tropical wetlands in southern Florida, is the most expensive and comprehensive environmental repair attempt in history.
The Wetlands Geodatabase and the Wetlands Mapper, as an Internet discovery portal, provide technological tools that allow the integration of large relational databases with spatial information and map-like displays. The information is made available to an array of federal, state, tribal, and local governments and the public.
There are several ways dams can be removed and the chosen method will depend on many factors. The size and type of the dam, the amount of sediment behind the dam, the aquatic environment below the dam, who owns the dam and what their priorities are, and the timeframe of dam removal are all factors that affect how the dam will be removed.

Any remaining wetland is considered to be threatened because of all these factors. [10] There is a lack of viable wetlands that can support native and migrating fauna. This is why a coalition of public and private entities are working together to protect, purchase, and restore the remaining roughly 500 acres. [9]
