Learn
to recognize and avoid common mistakes and unscientific assumptions about
wetland functions, when submitting significant nexus determinations, permit applications, mitigation
proposals, and monitoring plans. Explore the use of indicators of wetland
function to help design better mitigation projects and monitoring. Learn
how to apply HGM and other rapid assessment methods appropriate to the
region of the course location, to estimate services performed by local wetlands. Gain a deeper
understanding of the processes that determine functions at multiple scales.
Course participants will: visit local wetlands and practice classifying them using the hydrogeomorphic (HGM) classification;
assess hydrologic, water quality, and biological functions using
standardized methods; demonstrate application of these methods to various mitigation scenarios;
and cover principles for selecting reference wetlands, as needed for
developing rapid assessment models and function-based performance standards
for restored or constructed wetlands. This course is important for resource
agencies, land trusts, consultants, and others needing to understand and
apply best available science to assess functions or health of natural,
constructed, or restored wetlands. The Texas course will focus on methods for assessing functions of wetlands of Texas and the Gulf Coast. The Michigan course will focus on the use of Michigan's new rapid assessment method (MiRAM), as well as other methods applicable to the Upper Midwest. The Florida course will focus on methods for assessing functions of wetlands in Florida and the Southwest.
