The BBP is seeking a student contractor to lead the drafting of the HP based on notes and outputs developed during four workgroup meetings (one for each critical habitat).

The HP, drafted by the contractor will cover tidal wetlands, submerged aquatic vegetation, hard clams, and a reduced section focused on uplands and freshwater riparian areas.
