Wetland Complex Management

In settings where multiple wetland units exist, different water regimes and management actions can be employed to provide a mosaic of wetland habitat types that can benefit multiple species of wetland birds.

The following diagrams and schedules provide general examples for managing wetland complexes for multiple species of birds in agricultural settings.
