The DNREC Wetland Monitoring and Assessment Program, known as Delaware Wetlands, provides quality reports on the status, health and function of Delaware’s wetlands. It collaborates with other government agencies, businesses, non-profits and universities to further wetland research.

A “wetland” is an area of land that is wet during the growing season. A true wetland has three characteristics: wetland plants, wetland soils, and evidence of water at or near the surface.
Wetlands cover nearly 25 percent of Delaware; there are both tidal and non-tidal wetlands in the First State.
Wetlands provide many important services to humans and the environment. They
improve water quality
. They
provide habitat
for fish, wildlife and rare plants. They
protect us
from flooding and storm damage. And they provide open space on the landscape.
