Wetlands Resource And Regulatory Agencies Contact


Preface

This contact list is intended to facilitate communication and coordination among all levels of government regarding activities involving wetlands. The document contains an address and phone list of individuals involved in the management, regulation, and preservation of California's wetlands. Individuals from both State and federal agencies are listed. Additionally, a table is included that cross-references the regional offices of State and federal agencies relative to various geographic areas of the State.

This is a publication of the State of California, California Coastal Commission pursuant to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Award No. NA270Z0288-01. Although this document was prepared by the California Coastal Commission, much of the information contained within was originally assembled by staff of the State Water Resources Control Board.

It is intended for this contact list to be widely distributed. Anyone is free to copy and distribute this document as appropriate.
