Objective
The purpose of this proposal is to propose a new National Standard
for Wetlands Mapping. This standard is based on the draft standard
currently being used by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the National
Wetlands Inventory (NWI).
Scope
The mapping standard being proposed would be used for all wetland
mapping nationally including Federal Agencies, States, Tribes,
especially if that mapping data will be uploaded into NWI/ the National
Map as a data layer. Specifically, if Federal funding is involved ,
then use of the proposed Standard would be required. For all other
efforts, use of the standard would be strongly encouraged.
