      <abstract>This layer highlights selected wetlands located throughout the United States that exhibit unique or important ecological characteristics.  It includes Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar sites) as well as selected State natural areas, National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges. Each site marks the general location of the wetland area and includes a link to additional information about that particular wetland.</abstract>
      <supplinf>Additional sites and information are added periodically.  This dataset is not intended to be inclusive or exclusive nor is it considered an exhaustive search of unique or important wetland sites.</supplinf>
