"Large-Scale Ecosystem Restoration "presents case studies of five
of the most noteworthy large-scale restoration projects in the
United States: Chesapeake Bay, the Everglades, California Bay
Delta, the Platte River Basin, and the Upper Mississippi River
System. These projects embody current efforts to address ecosystem
restoration in an integrative and dynamic manner, at large spatial
scale, involving whole (or even multiple) watersheds, and with
complex stakeholder and public roles. Representing a variety of
geographic regions and project structures, the cases shed light on
the central controversies that have marked each project, outlining
- the history of the project - the environmental challenges that
generated it - the difficulties of approaching the project on an
ecosystem-wide basis - techniques for conflict resolution and
consensus building - the ongoing role of science in decision making
- the means of dealing with uncertainties
A concluding chapter offers a guide to assessing the progress of
largescale restoration projects. "Large-Scale Ecosystem Restoration
"examines some of the most difficult and important issues involved
in restoring and protecting natural systems. It is a landmark
publication for scientists, policymakers, and anyone working to
protect or restore landscapes or watersheds.
