Restoration of Coastal Habitats and Species in the Gulf of Maine. Christopher D. Cornelisen. August 1998.

This report, in conjunction with a database, is intended to increase the effectiveness of coastal habitat and species restoration through increased coordination and information exchange. This project began in 1996 as a result of one of the Gulf of Maine Council's goals to "identify, protect and restore the Gulf's terrestrial, coastal and marine habitats." This report highlights key findings on the seven topic areas researched. These topics are tidal marshes, freshwater impoundments, tidal flats, sea grass, dunes, seabirds and anadromous fish. Within each topic area, the report identifies current and past projects, potential and future projects, looks at evaluation and monitoring in these areas, as well as evaluates the restoration effectiveness and gives recommendations. This report also contains a contact directory of those involved in the restoration of coastal habitats and species.
