Science Notebook: Gulf Coast Wetlands
Alligators? Check. Crocodiles too? Check. Frogs? Check. Spiders? Check. Lots and lots and lots of bugs? Check! Meet some critters (oh, and some EPA scientists from the Gulf Ecology Division in Gulf Breeze, Florida too) as we travel across the Gulf Coast.
Meet the Neighbors
Some are creepy, some are crawly, but some are just downright cute. Say hello to some Gulf Coast wetlands critters photographed by EPA scientists in the field as they assess wetland conditions.
How Healthy is that Wetland?
EPA scientists have tools to rapidly assess the condition of a wetland. They share them here so that you can understand how to take the "pulse" of a wetland.
