The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), established in 1975 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), provides wetlands data in map and digital form for the United States. The NWI database contains map and summary information about the status and trends for wetland types including: estuarine wetlands, palustrine wetlands, lacustrine wetlands, and deep water habitats in the United States. Statistical data is also available on wetland changes and wetland loss. The Emergency Wetlands Resources Act of 1986 requires that updates of the wetland status and trends be produced on a 10-year cycle with reports due in 1990, 2000, 2010, etc. A Google Earth .kmz file as well as Web Map Services (WMS) are available to view the datasets. Ther is also an online Wetlands Mapper which provides access to the most recent digital data: http://www.fws.gov/wetlands onGoing DAHL, TOM DOI/USFWS/NWI > National Wetlands Inventory, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Department of the Interior DATA CENTER CONTACT 608 783 8425 National Wetlands Inventory U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service NSST 505 Science Drive Madison WI 53711-1060 USA tom_dahl@fws.gov http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/ resourceProvider EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > COASTAL HABITAT EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > ESTUARINE HABITAT EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > LAKES EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > LAKES > SALINE LAKES EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE HABITAT EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > REEF HABITAT EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > RIVERS/STREAM HABITAT EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > WETLANDS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > WETLANDS > ESTUARINE WETLANDS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > WETLANDS > LACUSTRINE WETLANDS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > WETLANDS > MARINE EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > WETLANDS > MARSHES EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > WETLANDS > PALUSTRINE WETLANDS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > WETLANDS > PEATLANDS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > WETLANDS > RIPARIAN WETLANDS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > WETLANDS > SWAMPS NASA/GCMD Earth Science Keywords Science Keywords 2008-02-05 revision Olsen, L.M., G.

The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on-the-ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis. The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems. Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery and/or field work. There may be occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site.
