Description

"This white paper captures and provides in-depth analyses of eight state program integration case studies as well as nine on-the-ground watershed projects to identify what worked, what didn’t work, what some of the barriers to success were, how those barriers were circumvented and lessons learned that can be shared. Additionally, the white paper addresses the challenge of measuring the value of integration and information for users about common ways to build integration capacity. ASWM hopes this study will result in an increase in state and tribal wetland program capacity to implement and support regional, state and local efforts to restore, enhance and create wetlands for the improvement of overall watershed health and increased resiliency." This paper features a case study on the Yakama Nation and their work in the Yakama River Basin
