The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Program provides geospatial information that is critical to understand, protect, and promote America’s national interests. NWI’s Geospatial Dataset enables efficient decision-making that supports the health of America’s people and economy. Everyday thousands of people from commercial, non-profit, and governmental organizations, as well as private citizens, use NWI data.

Modern NWI is essential for protecting people and infrastructure, supporting local economies, and guiding strategic planning. To learn more about how states are updating and using NWI data to support their communities, visit our interactive StoryMap.
NWI Mapper and Web Services
NWI’s Geospatial Dataset is provided to the public through the Wetlands Mapper and Web Map Services. The Wetlands Mapper provides map-like views of the Nation's wetland and deepwater resources and allows users to query, download, and print data.

NWI's web map services allow users to quickly display and query data using GIS software and mapping applications. Federal, state and Tribal agencies, energy and infrastructure development companies, as well as outdoor, recreation, and conservation organizations use NWI web map services to inform decision-making and better serve the American public.
NWI Mapper Prints
The Wetlands Mapper allows users to print maps for their area of interest - one of the Mapper's most utilized functions. By examining where users are printing maps, we can infer how the data is being used. This information helps the NWI Program prioritize user needs and implement strategies to improve user engagement.
Since 2015, over 2.5 million maps have been printed from the Wetlands Mapper.
