A Contemporary Fable
Authors: L. Jean O'Neil and Michael F. PassmoreAuthor Affiliations
Publication: Engineering Approaches to Ecosystem Restoration
Abstract
The best and most remembered stories are those told in parables, and the changes we are seeing in the Corps of Engineers are indeed the stuff of legends and fables. Goblins and demons, necessary parts of any fable, are the spirits of ecological complexity, human and societal demands, and fewer resources. The heros and champions are new and forward-looking authorities, research tools, and opportunities to implement them. This paper will showcase some of today's protagonists in the Corps, and forecast their victory in wetland and water resource dilemmas.
