In Colorado, no single state agency is responsible for wetlands, but many agencies and organizations have their own plans that either specifically address wetland protection, regulation, and management or involve wetland and aquatic resources indirectly. The intent of this WPP is to tie together the priorities, goals, objectives, and actions embedded in existing state plans, and identified through the development of this WPP, into one comprehensive document. The agencies involved in the aforementioned plans explicitly support the development of a multi-agency WPP and recognize the benefits of having a consolidated wetland plan.
