Non Technical Summary
The National Wetland Condition Assessment is one in a series of statistically valid National Aquatic Resource Surveys (NARS) conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to provide the public with a comprehensive assessment of the condition of the Nation's waters. In addition to wetlands, the NARS surveys coastal waters, lakes, and flowing waters in a revolving sequence. The NWCA is the first assessment of wetlands to be based on data consistently collected using the same field and laboratory protocols, and based on a statistical survey design that allows inferences about all wetlands based on a sample of wetlands across the country. NWCA effort will provide important information about the condition of the nation's wetland resources and key stressors on a national and regional scale.Field sampling for NWCA will follow the detailed methods described in the 2021 National Wetland Condition Assessment: Field Operations Manual (in preparation as of 6/10/2020).Awarded Start Date: 4/1/2021Sponsor: NYS Department of Environmental Conservation
