Book excerpt: "This Coastal Watershed Protection Strategy provides the framework the Coastal Management Branch will use to work with our federal, State, local government, public interest and private industry partners to protect, restore and maintain the nation's coastal and estuarine resources. We will work for this mission every day by providing a baseline of support to all coastal watersheds while targeting resources and technical assistance to priority coastal watersheds such as those in the National Estuary Program. We will also work with the Regions and States to encourage consideration of National Estuary Programs and other coastal watersheds identified as national priorities for protection and restoration, in the State Unified Watershed Assessment processes. The Coastal Management Branch will develop our annual work plans based on consideration of the needs identified in the Watershed Restoration Action Strategies developed for priority coastal watersheds. Finally, we will review EPA-State Agreements and Regional Management Agreements to evaluate progress being made towards the environmental and programmatic measures specified for the Coastal Management Branch's programs in the EPA Strategic Plan and annual budget development process."--Abstract.
