These wetlands occur in every GOM state, although two-thirds of the GOM total are in Louisiana, and are typically associated with estuaries, bays, rivers, and the lee-side of barrier islands. The objective of this book is to facilitate and encourage the restoration of these and other wetlands by reviewing the details of construction and costs (which can range from 1 to 45,000 per hectare), and by evaluating case studies for leve 606 $aWetland restoration 606 $aWetland ecology 606 $aWetland conservation 606 $aWetland management 606 $aRestoration ecology$zUnited States 607 $aMexico, Gulf of 615 0$aWetland restoration. 615 0$aWetland ecology. 615 0$aWetland conservation. 615 0$aWetland management. 615 0$aRestoration ecology 676 $a333.91/8153 700 $aTurner$b R.
