The Ecological Restoration Industry in America

Advocacy

Our industry is composed of private sector solution providers that employ thousands in rewarding careers.  We are proud of our projects that support local economies, restore America's waters and species’ habitats, and protect our coastal communities. We act as partners to resource agencies and our clients, permittees with a regulatory challenge. We advocate as a growing sector of the nation's economy that will only continue to grow with the right incentives and policies in place.


ERBA encourages further private sector investment and innovative solutions that make sense for our businesses and the development community we service.  


We invite you to learn more about our association and our industry in the below materials.  These are just an example of the association's advocacy work and include white papers, submissions to agencies, and recent studies and media coverage.
