In response to the lack of flooding that regularly waters the wetland, The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR), private engineering firms, and additional state and federal agencies began collaborating in 2015 to improve wetland conditions for Razorback Suckers and other wetland-dependent wildlife in the Scott Matheson Wetland Preserve, Utah.

Clear Lake City, Texas is located south of Houston and experiences frequent flooding from hurricanes and urban runoff. After conducting an impact study on how to reduce flooding, the Clear Lake City Water Authority (CLCWA) worked to purchase a 200-acre golf course to transform it into a park and stormwater retention area. 

The City of Ann Arbor recognized stormwater runoff as a growing threat to the quality of their water supply in the Huron River. To protect the city’s drinking water and reduce downstream impact of the pollution, they designed two financial incentives.

Interstate Island is located in Duluth Superior Harbor in Lake Superior. The island is critical habitat for the state-threatened common tern (Sterna hirundo), and was experiencing flooding, erosion, and land loss. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers placed 51,990 cubic meters of dredged material on the island to prevent further loss. 

In 2002, local, state, and federal partners collaborated to form the Virgin River Resource Management and Recovery Program (VRP) in order to address the threats to native fish species by eradicating invasive Red Shiner. VRP partners constructed three fish barriers on the mainstem Virgin River and applied piscicide (rotenone) treatments.

Built very close to sea level, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston implemented innovative strategies to keep critical infrastructure and patient care above future flood levels. The hospital incorporated extensive green roofs as part of its feature to reduce stormwater runoff during heavy precipitation.

The United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) partnered with the USFWS and the Elephant Butte Irrigation District (EBID) to restore over 550 acres of riparian habitat of the Rio Grande in southern New Mexico and West Texas, and acquire water rights for irrigation. 

This project will restore 295 acres of tidal marsh that had severely degraded from erosion, subsidence, storms, and canal and pipeline construction. Marsh restoration will reduce risks from storms and sea-level rise, and improve the coastal resiliency of communities in the Parish.  

Jackson Park, along the Lake Michigan shoreline in Chicago, Illinois is a historic park and valuable green space for the city. The park was overrun with invasive species and degraded from poor geomorphology. This project restored 16 hectares of habitat while preserving and rehabilitating the cultural history of Jackson Park. 

Big Egg Marsh in Jamaica Bay, NY was experiencing subsidence, erosion, plant mortality, isolation, and other threats related to sea-level rise. This marsh, adjacent to Broad Channel village, was chosen for a thin-layer placement restoration project to increase marsh elevation and vegetation. The site was restored to a silty-organic saltmarsh. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed a thin-layer placement of dredged material project at Jekyll Creek, Georgia. This project added dredged material to a subsiding, threatened coastal marsh. This project, covering 2 hectares, supports a variety of wildlife and native marsh grasses, and creates a more resilient coastal system.  

In 2015, the Jennings County Soil and Water Conservation District launched the "Share Some Space" program to address the declining pollinator population by creating new habitats across the county. Over four and a half years, the district collaborated with local, state, and national partners to educate the public about the importance of pollinators.

Johnson Creek in Portland Oregon faces frequent nuisance flooding events due to urbanization and development-caused degradation. The city of Portland began purchasing vulnerable properties and moving people out of the floodplain, in order to begin reconnecting Johnson Creek to its floodplain and restoring wetland habitat. 

Since 2009, the Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) has been working to restore 4,500 acres of converted hay fields to their natural sagebrush conditions—conducting controlled experiments, initial restoration, and an adaptive management approach to achieve long-term, high quality ecological restoration goals.

The Kenilworth Marsh tidal wetland restoration project, led by the National Park Service, aimed to restore areas in Washington, D.C. that were degraded from altered hydrology and contamination. The project team placed 130,000 cubic yards of dredged material to restore hydraulic function of the tidal marshes, installed over 350,000 native plants, and removed invasive purple loosestrife and phragmites.

Kerry Island is a part of the Lower Columbia River Estuary in Oregon, and has been severely degraded by agriculture and industrial development. The Columbia Land Trust acquired the land and removed a levee to restore tidal fluctuations. They also restored marsh habitat, improving populations of important fish species. 

King Fisher Beach in Port O’Connor, Texas is a major destination for tourists and local recreation. It is increasingly susceptible to the impacts of storm surge, sea-level rise, and erosion. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers nourished King Fisher Beach with 58,305 cubic meters of dredged sediment. 

The Ed Pastor Kino Environmental Restoration Project (KERP) aimed to restore natural areas by redeveloping an unlined stormwater detention basin in Tucson, Arizona. KERP covers 125 acres and includes constructed stream courses, five vegetation-lined ponds, restored native vegetation communities, flood control structures, and a recreational path.

The Kissimmee River Restoration project aimed to restore over 40 square miles of river/floodplain ecosystem in Central and South Florida after two major hurricanes in the late 1940s caused mass flooding and property damage throughout the upper basin. The project encompassed two primary components: backfilling the C-38 canal and changing water level management practices.

Local organizations in Knox County, Indiana, campaigned to raise awareness of the environmental and economic destruction that encroaching invasive species can have on communities. Representatives from the agriculture, horticulture and landscaping industries collaborated with conservation experts and the county attorney to determine the scope of an ordinance proposal that would ban 64 invasive plant species in the county.
