Tidal wetlands ringed most of the Bay prior to the mid-1800s. By 1998, more than 80% of wetlands had been lost to development. Today the WRMP tracks progress towards protecting and restoring remaining wetlands around the Bay.
Wetlands with clean water and healthy habitats offer more benefits to people and wildlife and are resilient to environmental hazards.
Tidal wetlands provide habitat for fish, wildlife, and plants, recreational opportunities for people, and environmental benefits to nearby communities.

An interactive tour of the WRMP monitoring network — step through the Estuary station by station and see where we measure marsh extent, elevation, and shoreline change, and what each site is telling us.
