Shoreline habitats
Description
This Science Screen Report shows how human interests and the needs of aquatic life can be balanced. It describes the efforts of scientists, engineers, farmers, and fishermen to address shoreline habitat problems and support endangered species. Citing ways these cooperative efforts have succeeded-for example, by rehabilitating gray seal populations, redesigning dikes to aid migratory birds, and protecting seabeds during cockle harvests-this program demonstrates the fragility and importance of the Earth's wetlands.
