This guide is designed for local government officials, land trust staff, birders, state and federal government officials, developers and others interested in ecotourism and the protection and restoration of wetlands. It addresses frequently asked questions concerning ecotourism and wetland conservation and provides recommendations for facilitating ecotourism while protecting and restoring wetlands. A selected bibliography and list of websites provide the reader with more information concerning specific subjects. We also draw your attention, particularly, to other more specific guides in this series which deal with the roles of land trusts in wetland protection and restoration, the role of local governments, and the construction of boardwalks and trails.
