After much consideration, the Wetland Wiki will be closing after 5+ years. It was initially envisioned to fill the gap between the general knowledge found on Wikipedia and a scientific textbook, but while there had been many interested users, the edits and constant updating of the wiki, particularly keeping track of changes in Federal and State laws became too much for a limited amount of editors. However, over the past year, Wikipedia seemed to make many updates to its wetland related pages, so it is becoming a much more reliable resource, despite gaps. The Wiki was released under a Creative Commons license and the database will remain available to anyone who is intersected in picking up this project.
