Lower Mississippi Region Comprehensive Study. Appendix U. The Environment
Abstract
The purpose of appendix U, The Environment, is to summarize the results of coordinated Federal-State efforts to objectively assess and quantify resource needs which reflect society's concern with the quality of certain specified components of the 'natural physical-biological system' of the study area. The specified components are: open and green space; scenic rivers and streams; lakes; beaches and shores; wilderness areas; wetlands; unique geological and botanical systems; unique ecological systems; and bottomland hardwoods. Resource needs related to these components are herein expressed in terms of land and water areas needed by 1980 to satisfy the environmental quality objective, bearing in mind that similar needs expressions relative to other components of the environmental quality objective are adequately presented in other related appendixes.
