The National Fish Habitat Action Plan: A Partnership Approach To Protect And Restore Fish Populations

摘要

Healthy and clean waterways and sustainable fisheries with robust fish populations are vital to the physical and eco-nomic well-being of our society. They are also important for less tangible reasons, as anyone who has fished wild waters or canoed a tranquil stream or estuary can attest. However, throughout the world, freshwater and coastal marine ecosystems are being impacted by ecologically unsustainable water and land use management practices, point sources of pollution, over-harvesting, direct habitat destruction, invasive species, and climate change.
