Reconnecting rivers helps restore the natural processes that sustain ecosystems—improving habitat diversity, supporting wildlife populations, and even enhancing nutrient cycling. These projects are part of a larger list of over 70 projects selected by the Federal Interagency Task Force that highlight community-centric restoration projects that not only rejuvenate ecosystems, but also bolster the climate resilience and economies of communities across the country.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/6e979fc64f8d4a80baa8b3b3e7999574_0</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Open Data</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Ecosystems Benefits Fish Passage Transformational Projects WFL1 [United States]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>United States</dc:coverage><dc:date>Last Modified: 2024-09-23</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
