| Abstract: | The Corps of Engineers has a central role in restoring aquatic ecosystems. Under the authority of the 1986 Water Resource Development Act and subsequent amendments, the Corps can modify or construct projects to restore fish and wildlife habitat, as well as assist states and other non-Federal agencies with ecosystem and watershed planning (Table 1). Mitigation of larger water resource projects is required under the National Environmental Policy Act. Thus, the Corps uses a variety of techniques to accomplish restoration and mitigation goals, but the biological merits of each have not been comprehensively evaluated. |
