A-Z Index Contact Us Search Ecology home SEA Program home Wetlands At Home with Wetlands A Landowner's Guide by Joy P. Michaud, for the Washington State Department of Ecology Ecology Publication #90-31 Table of Contents Preface CHAPTER ONE The Big Picture Wetland Types The Five Basic Types of Wetlands ... Acknowledgments Preface Throughout our history, wetlands have suffered at the hands of humans. Whether through indifference, exploitation, or misguided views, we have damaged or destroyed most of Washington's wetlands. And even now in spite of our new understanding of the ecological importance of wetlands the degradation continues, and we are still losing hundreds of acres of wetlands a year. As the owner of a wetland, you have an opportunity to join in the protection of this important and threatened resource. This guidebook describes how wetlands function, explains their significance in your local watershed and in the hydrologic cycle, and shows how human activities have come to threaten wetlands. This book offers protection, enhancement, and preservation options things you can do for your wetland. It also explains the importance of your role as a wetland steward. Stewardship is a traditional American idea. The word "stewardship" means "the individual's responsibility to manage his life and property with proper regard to the rights of others." Farmers have practiced land stewardship in part because their livelihoods depend on sustaining the land resource that supports them. In the farming context, the "others" include not just neighbors and the farmer's community, but also future generations. The responsibility comes from the recognition that we do not live in isolation, that what we do affects others (sometimes in ways we are unaware of), and that our children deserve the same opportunities we had. When we consider the ecological contributions of wetlands, along with the significant loss of wetlands throughout our history and the continuing threats to our wetland resources, we can see how important it is that wetland owners embrace the idea of stewardship.

WETLANDS MAIN INDEX Federal legislation Florida legislation Wetland terminology explained ... Altering wetlands Mid-summer's night, St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, Florida F LORIDA'S ANCIENT HISTORY AS A SUBMERGED PLATEAU is still apparent today as much of the peninsula remains underwater. Florida's natural environment is dominated by wetlands: swamps and marshes that are distinguished by water at the surface or by water saturated soil. Wetlands are the transition zones between dry upland ecosystems and deeper aquatic habitats. Each Florida wetland area is unique according to its surrounding geologic, hydrologic, and climatic conditions. Wetlands are key to maintaining the health of Florida's naturally watery places; they provide flood control, aquifer recharge, coastal protection, and they also act as "kidneys" that help filter pollutants from the ecosystem. Wetlands support a wide range of rare and endangered aquatic plants and wildlife, and humans have relied on Florida's wetlands as a source of food and recreation for centuries. Prior to European colonization, more than half

Learn the Issues About EPA Contact Us Wetlands You are here: Water Wetlands Wetlands Definitions Wetlands Definitions Generally, wetlands are lands where saturation with water is the dominant factor determining the nature of soil development and the types of plant and animal communities living in the soil and on its surface (Cowardin, December 1979). Wetlands vary widely because of regional and local differences in soils, topography, climate, hydrology, water chemistry, vegetation, and other factors, including human disturbance. Indeed, wetlands are found from the tundra to the tropics and on every continent except Antarctica. For regulatory purposes under the Clean Water Act, the term wetlands means "those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs and similar areas." [taken from the EPA Regulations listed at 40 CFR 230.3(t)]

Skip to content Printer-friendly Printer-friendly Subject Index Search: Home Lands and Waters » Wetlands Skip to main navigation Wetlands Wetlands (swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas) are areas saturated by surface or ground water sufficient to support distinctive vegetation adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands serve as natural habitat for many species of plants and animals and absorb the forces of flood and tidal erosion to prevent loss of upland soil. In New York State, two main types of wetlands are the focus of protection: tidal wetlands around Long Island, New York City and up the Hudson River all the way to Troy Dam; and freshwater wetlands found on river and lake floodplains across the state.
