NOTE: PLEASE LET US KNOW OF REGIONALLY RARE TYPES, WE NEED TO ADD MORE 

 EXAMPLES, BY REGION IF POSSIBLE, TO THIS TABLE. 



JUSTIFICATION 



While other criteria provide for protection of individual parts of wetlands, the criteria for 

 regionally rare wetland types is designed to protect a high diversity of wetland plant 

 associations, and the range of these associations. For the purposes of this criteria a region is 

 defined as a Water Resources Inventory area. This definition may need refinement as the 

 inventory areas may not be small enough. If this is the case smaller areas will be defined.
