Data from status and trends provide important long-term trend information about specific changes and places and the overall status of wetlands in the United States. The historical data base that the Service has developed through Status and Trends, provides photographic evidence of land use and wetlands extent dating back to the 1950s. This provides an accurate record to assist in future restoration efforts.--Publisher description.

This report tracked wetland loss in the watersheds of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Gulf coasts, as well as the Great Lakes. It concludes that more than 80,000 acres of U.S. coastal wetlands are being lost on average each year, up from 60,000 acres lost per year during the previous study. These wetlands are vital to the survival of diverse fish and wildlife species. They also help sustain the country's multi-billion-dollar coastal fisheries and outdoor recreation industries, improve water quality and protect coastal communities from the effects of severe storms. Notable wetland losses along the Gulf Coast (257,150 acres) accounted for 71% of the total estimated loss during the study period. The Atlantic Coast lost 111,960 acres and the Pacific Coast 5,220 acres. The watersheds of the Great Lakes region experienced a net gain in wetland area of an estimated 13,610 acres. Figures. This is a print on demand report.

This study measured wetland trends in the conterminous United States between 1998 and 2004. The estimates of estuarine emergent area were made prior to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita during the summer of 2005. The Cowardin et al. (1979) wetland definition was used to describe wetland types. By design, intertidal wetlands of the Pacific coast, reefs and submerged aquatic vegetation were excluded from this study.
