DESCRIPTION:
Wh at do we mean by “Shared Waterways” or “Waterways Management?” These terms have diverse definitions depending on the situation and user. Today’s Water way Manager may not have that title on a business card. Instead, this role may be a local trustee, a state boating law administrator, a site manager f or the federal government, or a regional watershed planning association. Wa terway managers face pressure from a wide range of stakeholders, each shari ng a unique perspective on how best to protect, utilize, or share the water resource. Options may range from expanding access to drive revenue and bus iness interests to limiting access based on analysis of physical and social carrying capacities. This session will discuss how the recently-published Guide for Multiple Use Waterway Management (Third Edition) can help the vas t diversity of expectations and desired outcomes facing managers today!
Bookmark the newly released A Guide for Multiple Use Waterway Management, Th ird Edition, which supports the reduction of recreational boating fatalities and injuries through improved understanding of and accessibility to tools needed to implement sound management processes on shared recreati onal waters, including the intersection of commercial traffic and recreatio nal users.
