Abstract
With great losses in the Nation's
ecosystem function and structure, collaborative efforts
that leverage resources are essential for restoring the
environment. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
through its various environmental programs is capable
of offering its water resources planning, design, and
construction expertise to implement environmental
projects that sustain biodiversity and ecosystem
integrity. Through partnering, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers ecosystem projects have protected and
restored approximately 165,000 acres of various types
of habitat and over 50 miles of stream in the U.S. The
purpose of this paper is to inform other Federal
agencies, non-Federal entities, and non-profit
organizations of the opportunities to work with the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers on studies and projects that
support ecosystem restoration.
