|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
(d) Elements of the strategy The estuary habitat restoration strategy shall include proposals, methods, and guidance on—
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
(2) ensuring that the estuary habitat restoration strategy will be implemented in a manner that is consistent with the estuary management or habitat restoration plans;
|
||

|
||
|
||
(B) improve surface and ground water quality and quantity, and flood control;
|
||
|
||
(C) provide outdoor recreation; and
|
||
|
||
(D) address other areas of concern that the Council determines to be appropriate for consideration;
|
||
|
||
(4) addressing the estimated historic losses, estimated current rate of loss, and extent of the threat of future loss or degradation of each type of estuary habitat;
|
||
|
||
(5) measuring the rate of change for each type of estuary habitat;
|
||
|
||
(6) selecting a balance of smaller and larger estuary habitat restoration projects; and
|
||
|
||
(7) ensuring equitable geographic distribution of projects funded under this chapter.
|
||
|
||
(e) Public review and comment Before the Council adopts a final or revised estuary habitat restoration strategy, the Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register a draft of the estuary habitat restoration strategy and provide an opportunity for public review and comment.
|
||
|
||
(f) Periodic revision Using data and information developed through project monitoring and management, and other relevant information, the Council may periodically review and update, as necessary, the estuary habitat restoration strategy.
