Regulatory initiatives frequently raise unanswered questions, while scientific study supports or calls into question regulatory practice, which occurs in an environment of intense public scrutiny. This primer lays out the science and policy considerations in a format accessible and useful to all who would be involved in wetland ecology, and his book would also serve as a supplementary text for courses on conservation biology, wetlands or environmental policy. 410 0$aOxford scholarship online. 606 $aWetlands 606 $aWetland ecology 606 $aWetland conservation$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 615 0$aWetlands. 615 0$aWetland ecology. 615 0$aWetland conservation$xGovernment policy 676 $a333.9180973 676 $a577.68 676 $a578.768 700 $aLewis$b William M.$cJr.,$f1945-$01518862 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785085803321 996 $aWetlands explained$93756648 997 $aUNINA
