Preserving Wetlands in Maine

Abstract

Sean Flynn

Wetlands can be found throughout the United States and, more specifically, within the State of Maine, and the wetlands within the area need to be protected. Using many geographic information systems and analysis measures, there are many potential wetland areas that can support endangered and threatened species. The final results show over 10 locations for wetland habitats in the county that is near the Moosehead Region. With the forestry business cutting down trees, the preservation of the identified areas is crucial for endangered and threatened species populations.
