Alberta S Wetlands

Report providing a summary of information about peatlands in the province, and slough/marsh wetlands in the Non-settled Area as well as policy recommendations concerning wetland management in Alberta.

Interim policy providing for the management of slough/marsh wetlands in the Settled Area of Alberta.

"The main objective of this report is to identify potential indicators of wetland health in Alberta, specifically in the prairie, aspen parkland and boreal dry mixedwood ecozones of the province. Potential indicators were identified and evaluated for suitability based on scientific studies conducted in wetlands within the province of Alberta and within other North American wetlands. This research supports the Government of Alberta's mandate of the Water for Life strategy to invest in knowledge on Healthy Aquatic Ecosystems. Identifying potential indicators will facilitate the development of a framework to monitor and evaluate the heath of Alberta's natural, disturbed, and restored wetlands."--Document.
