The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) plans, directs, coordinates, and monitors the gathering, analysis, dissemination, and evaluation of information relating to the location, quantity, and ecological importance of the Nation's wetlands. NWI develops technically sound and comprehensive information on the characteristics and extent of wetland resources in the United States.
