The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FW-R9-NWI) offers this grant to the Association of State Wetlands Managers (ASWM) to bolster national wetland conservation and mapping efforts. This funding supports two crucial workshops: ASWM’s annual State/Tribal/Federal coordination event, addressing Clean Water Act Section 404 and GIS wetland mapping; and a Floodplain Natural Functions and Nonstructural Flood Loss Reduction Workshop. These events are vital for the Service’s legislative responsibilities. Additionally, the grant aids the Wetlands Mapping Consortium, a national forum ensuring new projects meet FCDC standards. This directly supports the Service’s National Wetlands Inventory Strategic and Action Plans by fostering collaboration and improving national wetland data.
