This course provides the biological background for conservation management of wetland habitats, emphasizing aquatic community component identification, biology and structure. Students will learn how to identify and differentiate wetland types using the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System with an emphasis on vegetation forms and vegetation communities. A range of wildlife that rely on or interact with wetlands at any particular life stage will be identified and survey protocols associated with wetland wildlife will be reviewed through scenarios (e.g., Marsh Monitoring Protocols).
