Saving Puget Sound: A Conservation Strategy for the 21st Century

by John Lombard

Saving Puget Sound: A Conservation Strategy for the 21st Century Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Saving Puget Sound develops a practical proposal to conserve the Puget Sound region's most important ecosystems in the face of long-term population growth, providing both a vision for conservation and a detailed review of the political and legal issues that must be at the core of any practical strategy.

Book News Annotation:

This volume details ways to conserve ecosystems in the Puget Sound region that are being affected by population growth and climate change. The first section presents a proposal based on the idea that natural features of the landscape should determine where human land uses are concentrated and where natural processes are allowed to operate without intervention. It addresses the legal and programmatic actions to realize this idea, recommendations by regional experts, analysis of environmental laws and institutions, and challenges to regional conservation strategy. The second part covers the relevant laws, including the Endangered Species Act and its application, and those having to do with land use, water quality, and tribal treaty rights. Lombard is a policy analyst at an environmental consulting firm and at a non-profit organization that protects fisheries resources in the Pacific Northwest.
