OpenWetlandsMap is a community database of wetlands observations

Wetlands filter our water and protect our communities. Despite their importance, up-to-date wetland data remains fragmented, resulting in decision-making based on incomplete information. To address this, we created the OpenWetlandsMap — enabling everyone from kayakers to agencies to add their observations in the first openly accessible, community maintained dataset for wetlands. Anyone can edit the OpenWetlandsMap, so if your local wetland doesn't appear on the map yet, you can add it yourself!
