Workshop On Tools For Coastal Watershed Management
Watersheds play an important role in the environmental and economic well being of all New York communities. Protecting watershed resources while maintaining a sustainable economic base and accommodating growth can be especially challenging for communities facing coastal and watershed management issues.
