Restoring and expanding coastal and estuarine habitat leads to increases in fish populations, which have a positive impact on the communities and the industries that depend on thriving and sustainable fisheries. Restore America's Estuaries, with support from the American Sportfishing Association and NOAA Fisheries, collaborated with IAN staff to create this report, which makes a powerful case that investing in our nation's coastlines and estuaries leads to healthy habitat and strong fisheries. This, in turn, has a positive impact on the businesses and industries, both recreational and commercial, that rely healthy fisheries to survive and thrive.
