From the Conclusion: '6. The diverse demands placed on marshes, ranging from flood control to wildlife conservation, can be coordinated through management techniques that simulate the natural fluctuation of water levels but are constrained by criteria based on biological and hydrologic goals. 7. To the extent that these needs cannot be coordinated, management goals must be chosen for a particular patch of marsh; different patches may be zoned for different purposes. It may be that only in a large natural zone would the appropriate management goal be to restore a naturally functioning marsh ecosystem. 8. Because of history, conflicting demands, and management limitations, some of the natural functioning of Florida's marshes can never be recovered. 9. Only active management will assure the future of the remnants of Florida's once great marshlands.'
