Case Study: Southwest Coastal Louisiana Conceptual Ecosystem Model Development

Abstract

This case study addresses the effort and approach necessary to prepare a conceptual ecosystem model (CEM) for a typical ecosystem restoration project. It also serves as an example of the organization and level of detail for conveying the CEM in a report format. The subject model report is included as an attachment.
