We are a partnership of land and resource managers, scientists, advocates, regulators, funders, and other decision makers who are conserving wetlands through partnership-driven collaboration.
On-the-ground habitat projects are the lifeblood of our partnership and involve the protection, restoration and enhancement of wetlands. These projects range in size from the smallest creeks to some of the largest tidal wetland restoration efforts in the country.
We provide forums for the sharing of ideas to foster creative approaches to conservation.

We call for a dramatic increase in the pace and scale of protection, restoration, and enhancement actions in the coming years.
