Abstract:
Fish Bay watershed has many features that make it a special place. It is still relatively unpolluted, it has concerned citizen groups that wish to improve its environment and quality-of-life, and there is general widespread awareness of the environmental problems facing the watershed. These features make this an excellent watershed in which to develop the Territory's model for watershed protection. The vision driving this management plan is threefold: 1) to reduce the current levels of erosion, sedimentation and other types of nonpoint source pollution caused by prior development, 2) to improve the quality of life for current residents while allowing continued smart growth and development and 3) to preserve the watershed's environment and resources for future generations"--Introduction.
