Entering the Watershed is the product of a two-year project established by the Pacific Rivers Council to develop new federal riverine protection and restoration policy alternatives. It recommends a comprehensive new approach to river protection based on principles of watershed dynamics, ecosystem function, and conservation biology -- a nationwide, strategic community- and ecosystem-based watershed restoration initiative. The book:
- describes in detail the existing level of damage to rivers and species
- analyzes flaws and gaps in existing policy
- provides the framework necessary to develop new policies
- outlines the scientific underpinnings and management strategies needed in new policy
- makes specific policy proposals
