The challenge of effective communication is twofold. First wetland specialists from both academia and industry need to listen to the public and understand what is important to them, but more importantly, work to include them as part of the decision-making process.
A. LePage limitations of these types of data and approaches for wetland creation and restoration projects during the planning stages. As the world’s population continues to grow, the urban landscape will continue to impinge on natural areas, including wetlands. Human activities typically have a direct and immediate negative impact on our natural resources. In addition to the suite of ecological processes that must be managed, aspects such as recreation, socio-political, and economic factors need to be included as part of the management strategy.
The ability to react quickly is important, especially during the construction phase when the site conditions are continuously changing. Conclusions Wetlands are likely to become increasingly more prevalent in the urban landscape. As society’s values come to embrace what wetlands can offer, sustainability will need to be redefined to include not only the typical ecological functions, but the social and economic. Functions external to landowners and society will inevitably become as important as those currently deemed to be important.
