Simple, appropriate technologies for community wetland management

Managing wetlands is easier when communities and organizations can work together with a shared understanding of the science and policy involved.

  • Group goal setting
  • Understanding your wetland site

  • Stitching images into maps with MapKnitter.org
  • What exactly to monitor in a wetland
  • After collecting the data, what is next?
