Wetlands cover about 813,000 acres of Indiana--about 3.5 percent of the state. These wetlands support rich biotic communities in freshwater settings across the state, especially in the north and southwest.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal federal agency tasked with providing information to the public on the extent and status of the nation’s wetland and deepwater habitats, as well as changes to these habitats over time.
