Abstract:
Mark Brinson is an East Carolina University ecology professor and wetlands expert, and chair of the National Research Council (NRC) Committee on Riparian Zone Functioning and Strategies for Management. According to Brinson, achieving the goals of the Clean Water Act and other objectives requires the restoration of riparian functions along waterbodies. Buffer rules adopted by the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission for the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico, and Catawba River basins and restoration practices can help maintain riparian zones.
