Building on existing studies and input from communities and habitat restoration experts, the Great Marsh Coastal Wetlands Restoration Plan serves as a valuable resource for the advancement of important wetland restoration projects. The Plan, however, is only the first step toward project implementation. Follow-through by area communities and restoration partners is critical to restoration success. Thus, for restoration to advance at any site, active and consistent participation by local residents, communities, and regional organizations is critical throughout the project development and implementation process. The ideal vision for Plan implementation is a self-sustaining, long-term effort that is locally driven by communities and organizations. With the support of state and federal programs and resources, restoration partners can pursue priority projects through to completion. WRP is working with the Great Marsh communities and other partners to help make this vision a reality.
For information on the steps involved in restoring wetlands, see the WRP webpage, Typical Project Steps. For detailed information on a single, example wetland restoration project that can help you better understand the details of project development and implementation, see the WRP Focus Project. The WRP web site provides a wealth of information about wetland restoration throughout the Massachusetts Coastal Zone.
