Restoration Center Programs
To provide solutions to restoration challenges in coastal and marine habitats, the Restoration Center implements several major programs:
Large-scaled regional restoration projects conducted under the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act reduces coastal erosion and reverses wetlands loss in Louisiana, where tens of thousands of acres of wetlands are lost through subsidence, erosion and die-offs each year.
The Community-based Restoration Program applies a novel, grass-roots approach to restoration and is designed to actively engage communities in on-the-ground restoration of local habitats.
NOAA’s Damage Assessment, Remediation and Restoration Program works to restore marine resources that have been injured due oil spills, toxic releases, or ship groundings.
The Restoration Science Program advances emerging restoration technology, science, and cost-effective practices.
