13 Objectives Target Ecosystem Characteristics: 11 measurable objectives for restoration, termed Target Ecosystem Characteristics (TECs ) Short- and long-term objectives 8 Planning Regions. TEC Coastal Wetlands TEC Islands for Waterbirds Coastal and Maritime Forests Oyster Reefs Eel Grass Beds Tributary Connections Short-term objectives 2015 create or restore 1,200 ac. Enhance 4 islands 50 new ac., Rehab 200 ac. 500 ac. Reef habitat Create one test bed One less barrier per year Long-term objective 2050 create or restore 15,200 ac. All islands provide roosting and nesting 500 ac. New, Rehab 500 ac ac. of Oyster Reef Habitat Three established beds One barrier a year until complete
14 Harbor Database Acre Outputs Coastal Wetlands Islands for Waterbirds 783 tidal ac. -80 acres Coastal and Maritime Forests 1029 acres Oyster Reefs Eel Grass Beds Tributary Connections 1.0 acre 0 acres 20 acres 2205 acres all types of habitats restored 1984 to present
15 Trajectory TEC Coastal Wetlands Islands for Waterbirds Long-term objective ,200 ac. All islands provide nesting Trajectory based on completed projects 1566 tidal ac.? Coastal and Maritime Forests 500 ac. New, Rehab 500 ac acres Oyster Reefs Eel Grass Beds Tributary Connections 5000 ac. 3 established beds 1 barrier a year 2.0 acre 0 acres 40 acres (6 barriers)
16 Conclusions Coastal Wetlands Must put more time and energy into restoration Islands for Waterbirds Coastal and Maritime Forests De forestation to eradicate Asian Long-horned By far the greatest success story, but still behind targets. Targetts unrealistic? Oyster Reefs Eel Grass Beds Tributary Connections Public Policy and Regulation prohibit in some cases Existing Technologies do not exist Competing water resource needs slow process
17 Conclusions Bad planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part Anon. Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans John Lennon He who fails to plan, plans to fail Old Proverb A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow Proverb Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning Winston Churchil When planning for a year, plant corn. When planning for a decade, plant trees. When planning for life, train and educate people. Chinese Proverb
