Wetlands Research 



EPA's wetlands research program is divided into five topic areas: 



• Wetlands mitigation (i.e., creation, restoration, enhancement) 



• Cumulative impact assessment, 



• Water quality functions of wetlands, 



• Constructed wetlands, and 



• The Environmental monitoring and Assessment Program. 



The wetlands research program is under the direction of the 

 Office of Research and Development in Headquarters, Washington, D.C., 

 However, the wetlands research program manager is in the Corvallis 

 Laboratory, and the research is conducted primarily at the Corvallis 

 and Duluth Labs. Contacts for wetlands research are:
