Watershed-based Partnerships and Coastal Ecosystem Planning
The human impacts on coastal marine ecosystems are forcing resource agencies and scientists to rethink how society protects biodiversity and aquatic habitat. An essential component of coastal marine ecosystem protection is the need to develop and implement intergovernmental partnerships and social alliances that can protect aquatic biodiversity, and in some cases, restore the coastal-marine interface. The essay focuses on a comparison of watershed-based organization and membership in California. First, the essay focuses on the need for a watershed-based approach to protect aquatic species and habitat. Second, the essay describes the emergence of a watershed approach to protect and preserve biodiversity and entire aquatic ecosystems. Third, the essay includes a comparison of southern California watershed organizations with those of the entire state. Finally, the case of the Gaviota coastal watersheds of the south coast is explored. I conclude with a general characterization of the basic principle of community building that is required if we are to restore our relationship with our precious coastal watersheds.
