Volume II focuses on 17 additional study areas, selected because they reflect the broad array of problems facing wetlands nationwide: in the South, Florida's Everglades, coastal Louisiana, the Galveston Bay of Texas, and the Puerto Rican mangroves and coastal wetlands; in the West, California's Central Valley, western riparian wetlands, and southeastern and western Alaska; in the East, the Delmarva Peninsula (comprising parts of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia), North Carolina's pocosins and other freshwater wetlands, and northeastern New Jersey; and in the Midwest, Michigan's coastal and northern forested wetlands, and Nebraska's Rainwater Basin. The four chapters in Part 1 describe the Federal programs affeting wetlands: agriculture; water development and management; infrastructure, local development, and housing; and resource use, extraction, and development. Parts II through V are organized regionally and examine the 17 study areas243F Problem-Solving Information For State & Local Governments: Environment48B Natural Resources & Earth Sciences: Natural Resource Management48G Natural Resources & Earth Sciences: Hydrology & Limnology91A Urban & Regional Technology & Development: Environmental Management & PlanningAgricultureAlaskaCaliforniaCentral ValleyCoastal plainsCoastal regionsDelmarva PeninsulaDeltasDevelopment planningEnvironment managementEnvironmental impact assessmentsEvergladesFederal programsFishFlood controlFlood plainsFloridaForestsGalvestonGalveston bayHardwoodsHighway constructionImpactIncentivesLand developmentLand useLouisianaManagementMichiganNebraskaNew JerseyNorth CarolinaPlanningPoliciesProgram managementPuerto RicoResource conservationRestorationRiparian landSubsidiesTexasUnited StatesWaterWater managementWestern RegionWetlandsWildlifeReport
