(SEE ALSO PROPOSED 1ST SUB)

     Declares it is the intent and purpose of this act to make immediate and continuing investment to restore and conserve the health of the state's watersheds, to foster voluntary watershed partnerships within and near fisheries and timber-dependent communities, and to train and employ affected natural resource workers at family wages with benefits who continue to be affected by economic dislocation, to minimize the need to list species as threatened or endangered and promote the recovery of those species that remain listed.
