6 Tampa Bay Habitat Master Plan sets goals for restoring and protecting estuarine habitats Establishes habitat restoration paradigms for estuarine habitats in and around Tampa Bay Restore the Balance approach recognizes habitats that have been disproportionately impacted Source: Robison, 2010
7 Overall project goal Encourage publicly- and privately-funded mitigation to help meet restoration goals for freshwater wetlands, especially habitat types with disproportionate impacts Project partners EPA Region IV Wetlands Development Grant Technical Consultants Local, state and federal partners and advisors
8 This project expands the planning and targetsetting process to freshwater wetlands Project Tasks: 1. Map previous (1950s) and current (2007/2008) freshwater wetlands 2. Develop watershed and basin-specific freshwater wetland restoration and protection targets 3. Identify appropriate locations for restoration and/or mitigation 4. Coordinate mitigation projects with Tampa Bay watershed plans and goals 5. Improve federal-state-local regulatory coordination

14 Overall Tampa Bay watershed freshwater wetland targets Source: Scheda, 2013
15 Reality check: are these goals attainable? Is there sufficient acreage in each basin? If so, where could future restoration occur? Source: evansheline.com; G&K Development
16 Potentially restorable areas in Alafia River Basin Goal: Forested: 871 acres Non-forested: 2,199 acres Source: Scheda, 2013
17 Proposed concept: Expand upon voluntary restoration by public sector with compensatory mitigation by private sector Use privately-funded mitigation to advance habitat restoration goals that have been vetted by the science and management community And return some of to this Back to this!

18 Many herbaceous systems have transitioned to scrub/shrub systems High quality herbaceous wetland Change in fire or hydrologic regime(s) Poorer quality scrub/shrub system: Carolina willow encroaching into herbaceous marsh Source: Floridian Nature; texasagriculture.gov, St. John s River WMD
19 Utilize HISTORIC wetland type for current mitigation 1950 Map 2007 Map
20 Provision already included in existing state guidelines Section : In general, mitigation is best accomplished through creation, restoration, enhancement, or preservation of ecological communities similar to those being impacted. However, when the area proposed to be impacted is degraded, compared to its historic condition, mitigation is best accomplished through creation, restoration, enhancement or preservation of the ecological community that was historically present.
21 Benefits for agencies, applicants and ecology Permitting agencies: can work with existing regulations Applicant: can purchase credits or perform mitigation as nonforested Ecology: no loss of good quality forested & potential to replace altered scrub/shrub systems with good quality herbaceous Protect Existing Forested Wetlands Recover Historic Non-Forested Wetlands Source: US National Park Service; FDEP
22 Freshwater master plan for freshwater wetlands in Tampa Bay watershed will help public and private partners Permitting agencies: Options for mitigation permitting process GIS tools to enable better decision-making Private partners: Guidance for future mitigation banks and/or off-site mitigation plans Public partners: Approved targets and location maps will inform future publicly-funded restoration and preservation MORE ECOLOGICALLY BENEFICIAL freshwater wetland mitigation and restoration
