Description
Excerpt: Acknowledgment: This report is the product of the work of a USEPA team consisting of members from the Office of Sustainable Ecosystems and Communities and the Office of Wetlands, Oceans and Watersheds. All members of the team participated in the planning of the project, the conduct of interviews and inquiries and the analysis of the information acquired. The report was written by the Office of Wetlands, Oceans and Watersheds. Inquiries may be directed to Charles Gregg of the Office of Wetlands, Oceans and Watersheds. The team is most grateful for the support and assistance of a host of persons, far too many to name here, especially for the extensive time given us in interviews. Teri Devlin and Wes Beery of the Ohio Chapter of The Nature Conservancy were particularly helpful in guiding us to sources of information. We thank you all!
