Goal 9. To reduce the adverse effects of suspended solids and sedimentation on coastal aquatic habitats

A. Sediment loads at “safe” (negligible impact) levels

1. Change public understanding of sedimentation in waterways/change behavior

2. Establish regulatory and voluntary controls and “safe levels” for runoff and waterways

3. Conduct appropriate land stewardship for runoff management at “safe” levels

EXISTING PROGRAMS AND MISSING ELEMENTS MEASURES

B. Aquatic life showing no significant negative effects from anthropogenic sedimentation

1.Change public understanding of sedimentation effects on ecosystems/change in behavior

2.Quantify sedimentation levels that affect organisms/ reduction in loads to this point
