Management Approaches to Address Water Quality and Habitat Loss Problems in Coastal Ecosystems and Their Watersheds: Ecotechnology and Ecological Engineering
In this article we address ecological approaches to solving water quality and habitat deterioration in coastal ecosystems and their watersheds. We focus on the Mississippi delta and basin, and similar basins in Latin America. Human impacts are occurring from local to global scales. This is especially important in large river basins where there has been large-scale loss of habitat degradation, especially wetlands and riparian areas, and water quality deterioration. We use the Mississippi basin and delta, with a mean
