- Abstract
- Science shows us and the United States government admitted that an error was made within the levee’s construction during the years 1963 to 1968. This design flaw invades the Redwood Creek estuary causing extreme damage to the ecosystem. The creek’s estuary sits at the western end of the flawed levee system in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. To acquire appropriation to aid in restoration, the primary step is to make the levee’s cultural significance known. The Wiki platform is part of this call to action. Concessions are currently the only way, lawfully, for all stakeholders involved to create long term solutions for the Redwood Creek estuary. The alluvial creek is a vital waterway to some of the last remaining old-growth redwood trees. Effects which this flaw has on the ancient forest remain largely unknown, yet the damage done to fish populations has been passionately documented for years. Additional factors including area history, chosen aesthetics, social dynamics and spiritual myths, cause immense complexities that make correction of the project’s equation difficult. Existing area agencies have been forced to manage this mistake for over 48 years. This civil engineering blemish has also factored into the failure of the environmental, social and economic health for the levee's community known as Orick, California. From fieldwork qualitative research conducted in 2016, results show that all interested parties feel that action needs to take place to restore a more natural flow to the creek. Wikimedia will present the wisdom gained from applied anthropological studies in order to disseminate this knowledge. By clarifying the understanding of the levee and all of its facets, efforts will move forward in restoring the natural resilience of this waterway. After fruitful broadcasting of all content to aid with restoration efforts is published, information will be accessible directly on the Orick Wikipedia page. A separate Dublin Core based site will remain fixed with all given and known facts in regard to the levee. Wiki, by its very nature of not being fixed, will provide an accountable measure, and evolving recording, within its running history supported by the Dublin Core Schema. The title of the Dublin Core site will be Levee Stories. This will give two easily reachable domains to retrieve all current existing relevant information. (367 word count)
