The issue of identifying wetlands, quantifying their change over time, and characterizing the influences of nature and humans on them is a difficult one. Wetlands are a mix of terrestrial and aquatic systems that create a unique condition. Long of secondary interest in the minds of the public, scientists, and engineers, they have been evaluated on a systematic basis in detail only as of late.
