Wetland delineation is the process of identifying and mapping the boundaries of wetlands. This involves assessing the presence of specific indicators such as soil types, vegetation, and hydrology. Wetlands are important ecosystems that provide habitat for wildlife, improve water quality, and help control flooding. Professionals, often called wetland scientists or ecologists, use standardized methods to conduct delineations. These methods may include field surveys and soil sampling. Accurate delineation is crucial for regulatory compliance, land use planning, and conservation efforts, ensuring that wetland areas are protected from development and degradation.
