After sea levels retreated about 4,000 years ago the exposed wetlands provided a new habitat for biodiversity. Recently, much effort has been made to protect the remaining coastal marshes in North America. If the goal of that protection is for example, maintaining barriers to storm surges and providing wildlife refuges, then understanding how the marshes were formed and maintained is critical. If the goal is to return the land to it's "natural" state, then the history of the marshes, at least for some, may come as a surprise. Logging of forests in the 1700s and 1800s may have been responsible for creating some of the coastal wetlands in New England, notes Matthew Kirwan of the U.S. Geological Survey.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announced today it is soliciting public comments on the updated draft National Wetland Plant List (NWPL) developed as part of an ongoing interagency effort to identify and assign wetland plant ratings (indicator status) to species found in the U.S. and its territories. The NWPL provides a list of wetland plants by species and their wetland ratings that is used extensively by federal, state agencies, the scientific and academic communities, and the private sector in wetland delineations, the planning and monitoring of wetland mitigation and restoration sites, and serves to provide general botanical information about wetland plants.
The NWPL is available for public review and comment, click here.
