AREA-SPECIFIC RECOMMENDA- TIONS The fold-out master plan drawing in Appendix E is designed to accompany the descriptions and the recommendations in this section. To facilitate description of the recommenda- tions in more detail, the project area has been divided into seven areas. For each area a short summary of the existing conditions and a statement of the key challenges is provided, followed by a description of the proposed rec- ommendations. The list of recommendations for each area starts with actions related to Mas- ter Plan Goals 1 and 2 and their corresponding objectives (, improve hydrology/water qual- ity and habitat) followed by proposed actions fulfilling Goal 3 (, improve recreational, educational, cultural opportunities). The typical improvements and site amenities that recur in these project areas are described above in detail in Section 3C. Recommen- dations that require more extensive studies regarding their feasibility are labeled "long- term ; These actions would greatly improve the health of the ecosystem but involve extensive planning, funding, and construction.
