Estuary Restoration StoryMap

PMEP is developing an ArcGIS online StoryMap highlighting the importance of estuaries and their restoration  along the U.S. West Coast. The StoryMap will highlight the resources available from PMEP for estuary restoration pracitioners and their practical use to estuary restoration practitioners.  This effort will complement the online resource being developed under the Promotoing Effective Estuary Restoration Project (see below) and is supported by generous funding from the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Stay tuned for the StoryMap launch later in 2025.

PEER (Promoting Effective Estuary Restoration) Project

PMEP is embarking on a three year project designed to bring together estuary restoration practitioners along the U.S. West Coast to build a community of practice and increase the effectiveness of estuary restoration. PMEP will host three annual symposiums focused on design considerations, monitoring, and documenting restoration. The project includes development of online resources for use by restoration practitioners, including updated data on estuaries and restored tidal areas along the U.S. West Coast. The  first estuary symposium was held Tuesday, March 12, 2024. The project is funded by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
