A national wetland inventory, first of all, provides us with the baseline information of where we are.
The second thing is that the inventory is not only going to be the number of wetlands we have, but the types of wetlands. Therefore, over time, if there is going to be any change in the types of wetlands and in the functionality of the wetlands, we will be able to monitor those before it gets to a crisis situation.
As a scientist, in addition to knowing where the wetlands are and what types of wetlands, it will also be necessary for us to be able to continually assist and monitor the functionality of those wetlands.
