Delta, British Columbia, Canada The first inhabitants of this fertile area were the Coast Salish peoples, plying the channels of these wetlands as they hunted the abundant waterfowl and harvested the sea and the land, as they had done for centuries. Tsawwassen, known for its abundant sunshine, is the departure point for ferries bound for Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. British Columbia is one of the richest wildlife viewing areas in Canada. www.deltabc.com   (2401 words)

CalFlora - Species Field Descriptions The positive sign indicates a frequency toward the higher end of the category (more frequently found in wetlands), and a negative sign indicates a frequency toward the lower end of the category (less frequently found in wetlands). Some obligate wetland species occur in wetlands which are only temporarily or seasonally flooded. Occurs in wetlands in another region, but occurs almost always (estimated probability 99%) under natural conditions in non wetlands in California. www.calflora.org /dbfields.html   (2853 words)

Australia's National Report - 8th Conference of Contracting Parties to the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971): Operational Objective 5.2 Similarly, zoning is used to establish some areas of the Marine Park free from extractive use (akin to a terrestrial National Park and equivalent to IUCN Category II) and other areas free from any human intervention where access is prohibited (equivalent to IUCN Category I). Pulu Keeling National Park (North Keeling Island) has three zones - Pulu Keeling National Park is a declared Wilderness Zone (IUCN Category II) and the surrounding waters to 1.5km are a declared Marine Zone (IUCN Category II). Pulu Keeling National Park is listed as an IUCN Category Ib Protected Area. www.ea.gov.au /water/wetlands/ramsar/report8/objective5-2.html   (2591 words)

Kettle Ecosystem Description The Relict Drainageway category describes long linear features that were occupied by large volumes of meltwater at the end of Wisconsin time, but now contain no channelized flow. In this project, Relict Lakebed Ecosystem wetlands describe the extensive flat pro-glacial lakes or the vast flats created when Cook Inlet was dammed by ice (Karlstrom, 1964). Kettle Ecosystems are connected to each other by streams, adjacent kettles, or by peatlands which have formed in the Relict Glacial Drainageway Ecosystem wetlands that sometimes occur between larger kettles. www.kenaiwetlands.net /ecosystemdescriptions/Kettle.htm   (1363 words)

Action Town - Ollie Saves the Planet, Australia - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rethink The Friends of Westona Wetlands (FOWW) won our Community Environment Award in 2000 in the Community Groups and Local Government category. Friends of Westona Wetlands was formed in 1993 by seven local residents concerned about the degraded conditions of Truganina Swamp. The wetlands feature a footbridge made from recycled material, built over a waterway to protect sensitive areas, and a bird hide built to allow the local community and visitors to the area to observe the bird life. www.ollierecycles.com /planet/aus/action/city10.htm   (274 words)

Virginia Marine Resources Commission However, preservation of adjacent non-tidal wetlands or upland buffers may be considered in the adjacent land use category of the functional value methodology for credit determination in a proposed bank if the sponsor can show demonstatable threat to those adjacent areas. It was developed jointly by the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) with the assistance of a Mitigation Banking Advisory Committee (MBAC) representing local, state and federal interests involved in tidal wetlands management and mitigation issues, as well as private sector developers, consultants and environmental groups. Consolidation of compensatory mitigation within a mitigation bank increases the efficiency of limited agency resources in the review and compliance monitoring of mitigation projects, and thus improves the reliability of efforts to restore, create or enhance wetlands for mitigation purposes. www.mrc.state.va.us /guideli.htm   (274 words)

gs90307-.htm The State of New Jersey does not recognize the importance of the Wallkill River in the level of treatment required for the sewer plant since the state has rated the river Category 2 and not a Category 1 waterbody. When the plant was first built in 1987, the State of New Jersey wanted to designate the Wallkill River as a Category 1 river but backed away under political pressure and instead added vague language about anti-degradation policies. The site, known as the Empire Tract, is located in Carlstadt and is part of the largest contiguous portion undeveloped wetlands left in the Hackensack River estuary. www.gsenet.org /library/11gsn/1999/gs90307-.htm   (1650 words)

One Third of World's Population Will Experience Severe Water Scarcity By 2025, Says New Study Already the women and children of these countries walk great distances to retrieve water for cooking, drinking, and other household needs, farmers are losing their land as water sources decline, and wildlife is disappearing as wetlands dry up. Category 2: These countries face "economic water scarcity." They must more than double their efforts to extract water to meet 2025 water needs, but they will not have the financial resources available to develop these water supplies. Category 3: These countries have to increase water development between 25 and 100 percent to meet 2025 needs, but have more financial resources to do so. www.futureharvest.org /news/03171999.shtml   (1484 words)

HABITATS: Sphagnum Swamps and Bogs A second category of wetlands with sphagnum substrate are Nutrient Poor Fens. In addition to cutting the sphagnum base into a soupy mess, such vehicular traffic introduces seeds of cattail, reed canary grass, and purple loosestrife from neighboring wetlands. The floating sphagnum mat bordering Beckman Lake is the best, and nearly only example, of a beautiful 'bog' mat surrounding open water in east-central Minnesota. cedarcreek.umn.edu /habitats/bog.html   (821 words)

GREAT LAKES: Their health depends on consistent monitoring The states have to use common standards to measure everything from how often beaches are closed for swimmers to how well wetlands are holding up throughout the Great Lakes basin. The Environmental Integrity Project last week rattled off category after category on which water quality statistics are missing, erratic or collected so differently by each state that some of the lakes appear to have split personalities. Yet considering how many people get their drinking water from the Great Lakes, spend the summer swimming in them and like their perch and whitefish, too, it's negligence not to monitor them carefully and consistently. www.freep.com /voices/editorials/elakes16_20040316.htm   (340 words)

Title This category includes upland forests and forest land on seasonally or permanently wet or inundated areas often called "forested wetlands" in other classification schemes. For land on which there is forest rotation involving clear cutting and block planting, the clear-cut or plantation areas are not included in this subcategory until planted trees reach a growth stage to meet the height and crown density criteria. This category includes non-forested and nonagricultural land that has less than 10 percent vegetation cover, including natural areas (such as sand dunes, river bars and banks, exposed bedrock) and managed areas (such as active or abandoned mines, quarries, and spoil piles). cgia.cgia.state.nc.us /cgdb/refdocs/lc96/apdx-a.html   (2800 words)
