In particular, the importance of direct regulation and of setting water quality objectives and targets is examined. Various means of engaging with stakeholders and the general public are also considered. Success criteria and catchment management initiatives are described and briefly reviewed.

Voter Support for Policies Associated With Child Health as National Campaign Priorities.

Article Synopsis
- Child health policies are often overlooked in political candidate platforms, potentially due to a lack of awareness regarding voter support or the belief that these issues aren't divisive enough for partisan appeal.
- A nationwide survey conducted in early 2024 revealed that many voters are likely to support candidates who back child health initiatives, including Medicaid reform and the refundable child tax credit.
- Overall, significant support was noted among women and Democrats/Independents for child-focused policies, while Republican support was notably lower, with many respondents indicating they'd vote for candidates backing these policies.

Reefs formed by Ostrea edulis, the European native oyster, are among many biogenic habitats that have declined globally. European oyster habitats are now rare, and undisturbed examples have not been described. As more is understood of the ecosystem services provided by the reefs, oyster restoration efforts are on the rise, becoming a more prominent component of Europe's portfolio of marine conservation practices.
