Habitat restoration and
conservation are essential to the future health and
sustainability of our nation's coastal resources and fisheries.
The NOAA Fisheries Restoration Center restores coastal and marine
habitats that support the nation's fisheries and other trust
resources. We provide restoration expertise and comprehensive
restoration planning and implementation for coastal and marine
habitats facing chronic problems like subsidence, erosion and
disruption of natural processes.
The photos in this
collection tell a story.... of progress and commitment. They
provide snapshots of the work we do to advance the science of
habitat restoration by expanding local habitat restoration
techniques into broad-scale, ecosystem restoration approaches in
all coastal, estuarine and anadromous fish habitats within the
United States and its territories.
Several programs help us
accomplish our restoration goals: the Damage Assessment and
Restoration Program (DARP); the Coastal Wetlands Planning,
Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA); the Community-Based
Restoration Program (CRP) and the Restoration Research Program.
The restoration work completed under these programs is making a
difference, as you will see.
We hope you enjoy the
Restoration Center photo collection and return to them often. For
