General Information The National Wetland Condition Assessment 2011: A Collaborative Survey of the Nation’s Wetlands is the first report to use a statistically-valid random design to assess the condition of the nation’s wetlands. It is one of a series of National Aquatic Resource Surveys (NARS), a national-scale monitoring program designed to produce statistically-valid assessments that answer critical questions about the condition of waters in the United States. The key goals of the NWCA are to: (1) Describe the ecological condition of the nation’s wetlands and stressors commonly associated with poor condition; (2) collaborate with states and tribes in developing complementary monitoring tools, analytical approaches, and data management technology to aid wetland protection and restoration program, and (3) advance the science of wetland monitoring and assessment to support wetland management needs. Using a statistical survey design, 967 sites were selected at random to represent the condition of wetlands across the lower 48 states. Both tidal and nontidal wetlands were targeted for sampling. The NWCA finds less than half of wetland area nationally (48%) is in good condition; 32% is in poor condition and E:\FR\FM\16MYN1.SGM 16MYN1
