Extractions: POSITION STATEMENT: The Society of Wetland Scientists recommends that 1) wetland restoration and creation project-planning documents should include clearly articulated performance standards that are based on the best available science and that reflect the structural and functional objectives of projects and 2) research linking performance standards to wetland function should be encouraged.SCALE OF ISSUE: International PERFORMANCE STANDARDS DEFINED: The Society of Wetland Scientists defines performance standards as measurable attributes of restored or created wetlands that, when measured over an appropriate period, can be used to judge whether project objectives have been met. Performance standards have also been called "success criteria," "success standards," "release criteria," and other names. BACKGROUND: Wetland restoration and creation are used increasingly as a means of compensating for planned or past wetland losses around the globe (e.g., Streever 1999a). However, for almost 20 years, wetland professionals involved with restoration or creation have lamented the general absence of clear and unambiguous objectives for wetland projects (Race and Christie 1982, Race 1985, Erwin 1990, Streever 1997). More recently, wetland professionals have recognized a need for clearly articulated performance standards.

Extractions: What is a wetland? Wetlands have been described as a "halfway world between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems that exhibit some of the characteristics of each." They form part of a continuous gradient between uplands and open water. Wetlands tend to have seasonal and fluctuating conditions that make it difficult for one definition to adequately describe all wetland types. Wetlands have many distinguishing features, the most notable of which are the presence of water, unique wetland (hydric) soils, and vegetation adapted to, or tolerant of, saturated soils. Wetlands are not easily defined, especially for legal and political purposes because: they have a considerable range of hydrologic conditions they are often found along a gradient at the margins of well-defined uplands and deepwater systems they vary in size, location, and human influence.
Western Environment & Ecology Inc:Ecology
Environmental consulting firm in Littleton, Colorado (Denver area) and Grand Junction, Colorado. Focus includes endangered species, wetlands, prairie dogs.
http://WWW.WESTERNENVIRONMENT.COM/westernenvironment/Page3.html

Extractions: Western Environment's Ecology Division is dedicated to finding realistic, practical solutions to complicated ecological problems such as endangered species and wetlands. The key to working successfully with regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Army Corps of Engineers, is to identify and address natural resource regulatory issues early on in any project design. Western Environment and Ecology can assist with this process by inspecting and identifying probable environmental conflicts and helping you resolve them. Money spent early in the planning process will usually save you money in the long run.

Extractions: Economics Wetlands are important from an economic standpoint. It is estimated that the bottomland hardwood and cypress swamps of the Southeastern part of the United States are worth over $8 billion and climbing. Waterfowl hunters spend over $600 million annually in pursuit of wetland-dependent birds, with a large percentage of this money going directly to wetland habitat protection. Fifty million people spend an estimated $10 billion each year observing and photographing wetland-dependent wildlife. Evidence from a number of studies shows that states with lower pollution levels and better environmental policies generally have more jobs, better socioeconomic conditions and are more attractive to new business. There is a direct relationship between the environment and the economy because the economy is dependent upon the environment to provide resources and assimilate wastes.
