Coastal watersheds have unique ecosystems, services, and considerations compared to upland watersheds and better management tools are needed to safeguard the sensitive natural habitats, commodities, and people that live, work, and visit the coast. Coasts are valued for their fishing, swimming, and shoreline views.
What is a Watershed? A watershed is the area of land that drains to a particular lake, river or other waterbody. The graphic above, from Michigan Sea Grant, shows how a typical watershed works. Imagine a raindrop falling anywhere inside that watershed; no matter where it lands, it will eventually find its way to the main body of water at the bottom. If it lands lands in another watershed, it will drain to a different waterbody.
