NOTE TO THE READER
This guide lists a variety of existing wetlands informational materials. A
numerical notation follows each entry. These notations refer to the contact
for inquiry and aquisition of the material. Addresses and telephone numbers
are listed by number in the Contacts listing at the end of the document.
Materials listed may be specific to a region or locale, yet, often, they provide
general ecological information and/or may be suitable as a model for regional
modification. They are often suitable beyond their targeted audience and
worth examination.
The listing was undertaken in 1992/1993 and though extensive, it was not
exhaustive. And, no doubt, more materials have subsequently been issued.
Some updates and more current materials with which we became aware are
listed. Contact information has been verified currently for this printing. Yet,
we have not pursued an intensive search for materials subsequent to our initial
effort. We would appreciate notification of additional materials so that we
mav keep the listing current in the event of reprinting.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) supports a toll free
telephone service, the EPA Wetlands Hotline 1 -800-832-7828, that responds
to requests for information about wetlands and directs callers to appropriate
regulatory agencies or additional sources of information when neccessary.
The Hotline is a good initial contact for inquiry about wetlands. Please note
that the Hotline issues some, but does not stock all, of the materials listed
herein.
This listing of materials was originally prepared for the chapter entitled
Wetlands Education appearing in Applied Wetland Science and Technolo-
gies (Kent, Donald, ed. 1994. Lewis Publishers, Boca Raton, FL).

WETLANDS AWARENESS
Informational materials listed in this grouping address the occurrence of
wetlands, what they are, the different types, and identify wetland
functions and values. They seek to heighten the reader's awareness of
wetlands.
Materials produced by state and federal agencies are often either free
of charge, available through loan, or of minimal fee. The U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service has a Publications Unit (#28 in the Contacts listing)
which issues, free of charge, certain written materials and posters, and
an Audiovisual Unit (#49) which loans slides and videos. The National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Sea Grant Program has a
centralized library of all Sea Grant publications at the National Sea
Grant Depository (#72), which provides index searches and loan of
their written materials. The EPA Wetlands Hotline, 1-800-832-7828,
issues certain wetlands publications and provides information on the
availability of wetlands related documents. The Hotline offers an
interactive computer software program, "Wetlands Education Sys-
tem", applicable with IBM or compatible PC's, free of charge with
submittal of suitable blank computer disks.
Acquisition of many of the curricula may require participation in an
associated workshop offered by the agency or organization publishing
the curriculum. Please inquire with the agency or organization.

REGULATIONS AND LEGISLATION
Informational materials listed in this grouping seek to help readers
understand the regulations implementing Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act and state laws and programs with authority over activities
in wetlands. The workbooks and guidebooks provide agency contact
information.
The main objective of these materials is to provide information on
wetland regulatory programs and avoid wetland impact and loss, to avoid
delays and frustration experienced by the regulated community, and to
provide guidance to those who wish to participate in the public
review process.

CONSERVATION AND PLANNING
There are a number of federal laws, as well as support and develop-
ment programs, which affect activities in wetlands and can provide
mechanisms and much sought after finances for wetlands preservation
and restoration. The following informational materials seek to clarify
such information, provide guidance in developing and implementing
state and local wetlands preservation ordinances, and address the
mechanisms for private donorship of wetlands. Some materials review
examples of successful wetland protection ordinances and fundamen-
tal considerations in planning ordinances.

efforts of academic and professional associations in bridging the gap
between wetlands science and wetlands management. The journals,
