w E T L A N D S INFORMATION RESOURCE GUIDE United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2 Water Management Division, Marine and Wetlands Protection Branch EPA-902-K-94-001 December 1994 ------- WETLANDS AN INFORMATION RESOURCE GUIDE WETLANDS AWARENESS WETLANDS REGULATIONS 15 AND LEGISLATION WETLANDS CONSERVATION 19 AND PLANNING WETLANDS SCIENCE AND 25 MANAGEMENT CONTACTS 31 ------- 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). Copies of this document can be received by contacting the: EPA Wetlands Hotline 1-800-832-7828 or U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2 Marine and Wetlands Protection Branch 26 Federal Plaza New York, NY 10278 (212)264-5170 ------- WETLANDS AWARENESS CURRICULA POSTERS VIDEOS SLIDES MAGAZINES OTHER DOCUMENTS BOOKS RESOURCE GUIDES DIRECTORIES ------- 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. ------- WETLANDS RESOURCE GUIDE WETLANDS AWARENESS CURRICULA/ACTIVITY MATERIALS Curricula Aquatic Project WILD1 Beneath the Shell: Teacher's Guide to Nonpoint Source Pollution2 A Curriculum Guide for Wetland Education Grades K-83 Coastal Issues: A Wave of Concern4 Decision Making and the Chesapeake Bay3 Discover Wetlands6 Environmental Education Curriculum Manual7 The Estuary Guide8 Level 1 (K-3), Level 2 (4-8), Level 3 (9-12) The Great Bay, A Living Laboratory4 Marine and Estuarine Ecology Volume I9 Marine Science Education Workbooks5 > Tides and Marshes > Food Webs in an Estuary Marshes, Estuaries and Wetlands10 Project Estuary" Project WET: Curriculum and Activity Guide12 Salt Marsh Manual: An Educator's Guide13 Sea Sampler: Aquatic Activities for the Field and Classroom14 Elementary, Secondary South Slough Estuarine Sanctuary15 * Estuary: an Ecosystem and a Resource Teacher's Manual ------- WETLANDS RESOURCE GUIDE WETLANDS AWARENESS > In Search of the Treasures of the South Slough Level 1 Grades 4-5, Teacher's Manual >• The Secret of the Medallion Level 2 Grade 6, Teacher's Manual »• The Lore of South Slough - Level 3 A Teacher's Guide to the Study of Wetlands16 Willa in Wetlands Play U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service/Alaska Department of Fish and Game17 Wetlands and Wildlife Alaska Wildlife Curriculum: >• Primary Teachers Guide K-3 * Upper Elementary Teacher Guide 4-6 » Junior and Senior High Teachers Guide 7-12 > Field Trip Manual »• Teacher Information Manual Part 1 & Part 2 Wading into 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. 16 ------- WETLANDS RESOURCE GUIDE REGULATIONS & LEGISLATION Building Near Wetlands: The Dry Facts.

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. 20 ------- WETLANDS RESOURCE GUIDE CONSERVATION & PLANNING The Conservation Easement Handbook: Managing Land Conservation and Historic Preservation Easement Programs. 1988.
