NEWEA Wetlands Committee Home Page
The NEWEA wetlands Committee is a group of 15 to 20 persons from regulatory agencies, consulting firms, public authorities, and universities who are interested or involved in wetland issues.
http://www.newea.org/wetlands.htm

Extractions: WHAT'S NEW? The Wetlands committee just hosted a successful session at the annual conference. Bethany Card moderated a session featuring presentations by Betsy Shreve-Gibb, Michael Turgeon, Stephen Fogg, Helen Priola, and Chad Sumner. The presentations included such topics as permit compliance for a design/build project, wetland protection, development of a stormwater management plan, and salt marsh replication. Currently a wetland construction specialty seminar is being considered for the summer of 2001. For more information regarding upcoming wetland events please see the NEWEA quarterly newsletter and check this page for updates. WHAT IS THE WETLANDS COMMITTEE? The NEWEA Wetlands Committee is a group of 7 to 20 persons from regulatory agencies, consulting firms, public authorities, and universities who are interested or involved in wetland issues. The committee meets every few months to discuss changes in federal and state wetland policies and regulations and to plan various activities including wetland technical sessions and conferences, wetland-related publications, and wetland-related outreach to NEWEA members, students, or the general public. The only requirements for joining the wetlands committee are: 1) all committee members must be members of NEWEA/WEF; and 2) all members must commit to actively participate in committee meetings and responsibilities.

Awash with nutrients and plant debris, coastal wetlands are prime nurseries for fishes, shrimps, and crabs, and nesting sites for waterfowl . Not only do wetlands crawl with wildlife, they also filter out pollutants, buffer inland areas from storm, wave, and flood damage, and support food production for humans Red and black mangroves, Belize
Bird Watching
Overview and bird list.

Extractions: Bonnyville a Bird Watcher's Paradise Bonnyville Birding Nestled in the heart of the Lakeland in north-east Alberta, the town of Bonnyville provides a unique opportunity for birdwatchers to view hundreds of different types of birds; nearly 75 per cent of the 320 Alberta bird species can be seen in the area. The reasons for this abundant birdlife are twofold. Firstly, Bonnyville is located in a geographical transition zone where the land contains characteristics of both Boreal Forest and Northern Parkland, and as a result, it attracts a combination of birds native to both. Secondly, the area lies along the migratory paths of many birds, which descend on its numerous lakes during the fall and spring migrations.

Water Recycling
Ecological wastewater recycling system in Chatham County, North Carolina. Wastewater is cleaned for reclamation and reuse using constructed wetlands, a greenhouse containing soil filters, and an aquatic ecosystem.
http://www.waterrecycling.com/

Extractions: E xplore an ecological wastewater recycling system in Chatham County, North Carolina at the former Triangle School. Wastewater is cleaned for reclamation and reuse using constructed wetlands , and a greenhouse containing soil filters and an aquatic ecosystem . This is the first on-site treatment facility of its kind in North Carolina which not only purifies water and reclaims nutrients, but also reuses water, and therefore RECYCLES WATER . Nutrients from the wastewater are captured to be used later as fertilizer for landscape plants. The Triangle School Wastewater Treatment Facility was designed by a team headed by Halford House at North Carolina State University (NCSU). Faculty and students from NCSU and other universities will be conducting research at the site, while students from the Chatham County Public Schools and children at the Exploris Museum will soon be able to study the site, suggest experiments and interact with researchers via the internet. Take the guided tour to visit the highlights of this site.

http://www.eng.auburn.edu/users/paytojd/wetland.html

Extractions: A constructed wetland is "a designed and man-made complex of saturated substrates, emergent and submergent vegetation, animal life, and water that simulates natural wetlands for human use and benefits." (from Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment: Municipal, Industrial and Agricultural , 1989, D.A. Hammer, ed. Lewis Publishers, Inc. Chelsea, Michigan) With the advent of large industries, confinment of animals for agricultural purposes and high-density populations, the need to dispose of increasing amounts of waste has become a major concern. Failing to deal with these wastes in the past led to contaminated surface and sub-surface waters. Constructed wetlands is one method used to help purify wastewaters.
Wetland Ecology

http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/wetlands/ecology/

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.

Information and Resources Wetlands Reports: Wetlands Restoration Permitting and Floods America's wetlands provide something for everyone. Wetlands protect us all in many ways they filter pollutants from our drinking water, protect our homes by storing floodwater, and provide homes for fish, shellfish, and wildlife. Wetlands are crucial for clean water, serving as a natural filter absorbing water-borne pollutants and damaging contaminants before the water enters our rivers, lakes, and streams. Despite the fact that wetlands are of unique value to our society, a 1997 survey by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reports that roughly 58,500 acres of wetlands are being destroyed annually. Sierra Club is fighting for the restoration and protection of wetlands all across America, for our families and for our future.
