5. Conclusion 



To qualify for acquisition consideration under the provisions of the 

 National Wetlands Priority Conservation Plan, a wetland site must: 1) 

 include predominantly (50 percent or greater) wetland types which are 

 rare or declining in the ecoregion; 2) be threatened with loss and/or 

 degradation; and 3) offer important values to society in two identifiable 

 functional categories. References, literature citations, agency contacts 

 and personal communications must be provided to support the assessment 

 and conclusions made in this checklist.
