Lorianne,
I've included some links below to efforts in NC by the Ecological Flows Science
Advisory Board from a few years back. Chris Goudreau and I participated in
this effort that produced a publication summarizing the state of the science
and NC resources as of 2013. This was also peer reviewed by IFC members. This
publication was the result of collaboration with other agencies and
organizations so it's not a NC Wildlife Resources Commission policy, but we
were heavily involved.

I'm happy to talk with you more about this...
Thanks,

Afternoon all,
The SC Department of Natural Resources has an instream flow policy that was
last updated in 2009. I know these water issues are quite variable from state
to state across the country. I've got a copy of the report card on instream
flow policies of southeastern states, but does anyone have a natural resource
agency instream flow policy that they are willing to share?
Thanks,
Lorianne
