Reports and Documents
The health of a watershed and the health of local economies like those that exist in the Presque Isle Township are highly integrated. A sustainable economy depends on a healthy environment. In fact all social and economic benefits are based on the biological and physical properties of watersheds (Williams et al., 1997). In fact, our economy should be viewed as being nested inside our environment (Lanoo, 1996).
