Abstract Federal investments in ecosystem restoration projects protect Federal trusts, ensure public health and safety, and preserve and enhance essential ecosystem services. These investments also generate business activity and create jobs. The Economic Impacts of Ecosystem Restoration project aims to increase the availability of information on the costs and activities associated with ecosystem restoration, and to gauge the economic effects of these investments to local economies. The project is comprised of a series of case studies that quantify the economic impacts of restoration projects. The case studies include examples of collaboratively funded and managed projects to restore a wide range of degraded, damaged, or destroyed ecosystems. In addition to providing improved information on the economic impacts of restoration, these case studies highlight DOI restoration efforts and tell personalized stories about each project and the communities that are positively affected by restoration activities. Project methods include the collection of primary expenditure data and economic input/output modeling. Results from the first phase of case studies are available online at https:// www.fort.usgs.gov/economic-impactsrestoration and in a USGS report titled ‘Estimating the economic impacts of ecosystem restoration—methods and case studies’. The report provides a detailed description of the methods used to estimate economic impacts of case study projects and also provides suggestions, lessons learned, and tradeoffs between potential analysis methods. This second phase of case studies aims to refine the survey methods and fill in VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:46 Nov 09, 2016 Jkt 241001 some data gaps on specific types of restoration activities. II.
