About this event
North and South Carolina's wetlands are dominant features of the landscape today, especially across the coastal plain where 94 percent of the wetlands are located. However, many of the original wetland have been lost or severely degraded. Since the 1780s, over 60% of the natural wetlands in North and South Carolina have been lost.
The Carolina Wetlands Association is proud to release, Carolina Wetlands Past to Present, produced by our Science Committee. This webinar will present an overview of the state of an important but shrinking resource – wetlands in North and South Carolina. The webinar addresses the following questions:
- How many wetlands do we have, what are their types, and where are they?
- How have past and current land-use practices affected our wetlands?
- What other threats/stressors to wetlands are there and how can we manage them?
- What is the current condition of our wetlands?
- How do we protect and manage this valuable resource through education, conservation, restoration, and other activities?
