It seems there are not many sites with this discussion topic. I think people are apathetic about resource management in general, but particularly toward aquatic resource management and riparian management in particular. Especially in the Western U.S. From what I've seen peoople in the Eastern U.S. are primarily concrned with their limitations to developing in riparian areas around lakes and streams. In the West they think it is much about nothing when it comes to grazing management and development. The reality is, as taxpayers, we pay for agencies to educate the public and riparian landowners, we pay for restoration, we pay for enforcement, we pay for lost recreational opportunity (opportunity cost), and we pay for pollution loading reduction plans, yet we watch as destruction of riparian areas through poor land management and lack of enforcement continues.
