Guide to the Alberta Wetland Rapid Evaluation Tool - actual (ABWRET-A) for the Boreal and Foothills Natural Regions

Description

This guide serves as a manual with instructions and references for using the ABWRET-A methodoloty to assess the relative value of wetlands in the Boreal and Foothills Natural Regions of Alberta. ABWRET-A is a standardized method for rapidly assessing some of the important natural functions of all types of wetlands present in Alberta. Use of the methodology generates scores for a wetland's functions which then are used, with other inputs, to assign a wetland to a value category in a consistent and transparent manner. The category assignment is to be used to inform planning and regulatory decisions around wetland avoidance, minimization and replacement, and to determine the replacement ratios where that is required.
