Water, Wetlands, and Wildlife Program
Purpose
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Water, Wetlands, and Wildlife
program focuses on incorporating natural environment protection and enhancement
into the transportation decision making process. Wetlands, watersheds,
and coastlines are vital parts of the natural ecosystem and require
careful planning to avoid, minimize, and mitigate damage to them as
a result of transportation projects. FHWA provides information and
guidance to Federal, State, and local agencies in order to preserve
the function and integrity of the Nation's wetlands
and aquatic ecosystems.
