Description

The wetland status and trends monitoring program is a random sample survey designed to provide ongoing assessment of the gain and loss of wetland acres in Minnesota. Initiated in 2006, this project involves the periodic acquisition and interpretation of aerial photography on 4,990 permanent, one-square mile sample plots randomly located around the state. Wetland gain and loss is determined by comparing subsequent photos of each sample plot using GIS technology.
