Toward Wetland Protection in the Houston-Galveston Region: Assessing Mitigation Practices and Facilitating Watershed-Based Decision Making

Summary

The GeoTechnology Research Institute will analyze full 404 permit records (2008-2015) and add them to the reports created in phase 1 of the project to examine the success of mitigation sites.  The team will compare ecological conditions within the mitigation site to those present prior to permit activities using historical aerial photographs and descriptions of the area. Results will be presented at a stakeholder meeting for government agencies and non –profit organizations, in the final report, and in publications.
