The following list of publications and contacts is in the
development stage; it is not comprehensive. The EPA Wetlands Division offers
this as an interim guide to resources; at a later date we will produce a more
complete compendium of resources including an annotated bibliography. The
references have been placed in categories that indicatethe main approach
of each publication. Some publications are listed in more than one of these
categories. As much information as possible about how to obtain each
publication is included, but this information is not yet entirely systematic or
complete.
