The underlying themes that Coastal America wishes to emphasize are two-fold: (1) aquatic ecosystems, which are intrinisically related to the hydrogeologic characteristics of watersheds, are most effectively addressed in a watershed context; and (2) truly comprehensive watershed approaches can only succeed with the collaboration and cooperation of the full range of parties with jurisdiction over, and interest in, the resources at stake.en-USwatershed protectionenvironmental protectionTechnical Report
