Mission and Functions of the Wetland Science
Institute
The science of wetlands is characterized by the dynamic emergence and
modification of precepts and techniques. Prompt incorporation of new wetland
technology to agency programs is critical in order to maintain program
credibility, as well as increase field utility. The Mission Statement of the WLI
is: "Develop, adapt, and disseminate science and technology needed
to protect and restore wetlands."
The WLI serves NRCS and others in the development, interpretation, and
application of wetland science by performing the functions listed below:
- Develop applied scientific techniques for wetland conservation needs.
- Provide expert technical consultation to NRCS and others for resolving
problem areas in the field.
- Develop and disseminate NRCS technical guidance documents.
- Serve as NRCS technical liaison with government and university
research and technology centers to ensure the coordination and
cooperative development and dissemination of emerging wetland science
information.
