The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) is a publicly available resource that provides detailed information on the abundance, characteristics and distribution of America's wetlands. One of the ways the wetlands data is provided to the public is via an interactive wetlands mapper ( https://www.fws.gov/wetlands/data/Mapper.html ). The Wetlands Mapper delivers an easy-to-use map-like view of America's wetland resources. It spatially integrates NWI data with additional natural resource information and political boundaries to produce a robust decision support tool. From 2015-2024, over 2.3 million maps have been printed from the NWI Wetlands Mapper. The geographic extent of these maps illuminate certain patterns of how NWI data are used by the public. Being aware of how the public uses NWI data will allow the program respond to user needs, learn where updates might be most appreciated, and help guide future project planning.
