Florida Wetlands Delineation Manual

This manual was created to aid in the application of Chapter 62-340, F.A.C. at the time of rule development. It is being included here as a reference only and does not replace the ratified rule. Several fundamental topics need to be understood prior to the use of this manual, and 62-340, F.A.C.: wetland definition, reasonable scientific judgement, ecotones, and hydric soils.

Further, many of the reference sites explored in the book are no longer appropriate ecological examples due to changes in site conditions (management practices, hydrologic alterations, property uses, etc.)

Please note: Hard copies of the manual are no longer available.
