 NAWM Discussion Session: Mapping Wetlands Policy: A Practitioner Discussion on AI, Data, and Decision-Making

Held Tuesday, September 22, 2026 - 3:00pm - 4:00 pm ET 

View Recorded Webinar 

Presenters: [PDF Presentation]

• Reed Van Beveren, Deputy Director of Technology, Environmental Policy Innovation Center
• John Paul (JP) Miller, Director of Environmental Strategies, Center for Geospatial Solutions

ABSTRACT

The proposed Wetlands Policy Map initiative would create a first-of-its-kind, open-source platform that uses artificial intelligence and geospatial technology to identify, organize, and map wetland protection policies across federal, state, and local levels. The goal is to enable users to select a location and quickly understand what wetland protections may apply, reducing the need to manually interpret fragmented documents, reconcile rules across jurisdictions, and attempt to apply them to a specific location.

The project is being developed through a partnership among the Environmental Policy Innovation Center (EPIC), Center for Geospatial Solutions (CGS), and the National Association of Wetland Managers (NAWM). The initiative seeks to transform thousands of pages of wetland regulations, statutes, and ordinances into structured, searchable information that can be linked to mapped wetland features and viewed through an interactive decision-support tool.

We invites wetland managers, regulators, policy specialists, GIS professionals, planners, and other interested practitioners to join the conversation and share their perspectives. This discussion was an opportunity to help shape a resource that could improve access to wetland policy information, support better-informed decisions, and strengthen wetland protection efforts nationwide.

As a graduate student, he helped NGOs in Tanzania and Indonesia refine strategies for tackling human-wildlife conflict around a national park and improving urban water sources. Reed holds a Masters of Public Administration from Cornell University, where he focused on science, technology, and infrastructure policy, and BA in International Political Economy from Georgetown University.     

John Paul Miller (JP) is Director of Environmental Strategies at the Center for Geospatial Solutions (CGS), where he leads initiatives across wetlands, water resources, land restoration, and environmental monitoring. His work focuses on developing actionable data and decision-support tools that help public agencies and partners steward land and water resources more effectively and equitably.

ABSTRACTS:

Community Outreach through Love Your Wetlands Day
Kellie Uyeda

Love Your Wetlands Day is an annual celebration of wetlands at UC San Diego's Kendall-Frost Marsh Reserve that consistently attracts more than 1,000 people. The event was started by UC San Diego staff in collaboration with the City of San Diego and was attended by just a few dozen volunteers in 2005. In the last few years, San Diego Bird Alliance and the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve have joined as hosts as well. All the event hosts have slightly different motivations for engaging in this outreach event, which I explored in this talk.

Bringing Wetlands to Your Community – and Vice Versa!
Mark Dilley and Jenny Adkins

Wetlands are a complicated and sometimes controversial topic, yet they are vital to our planet and its inhabitants - humans and wildlife alike. In this presentation, they shared tips on how to identify opportunities to restore or enhance wetlands in your community's parks and green spaces, how to manage and care for them, and most importantly, how to engage the community in meaningful and effective ways to garner interest and support for these important and fascinating ecosystems. Several illustrative (and special) stories were shared to highlight the value of wetlands to unexpected stakeholders.

View Recorded Webinar 

INTRODUCTION

PRESENTER:

• Katie McCafferty, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

ABSTRACT:

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reissued its nationwide permits (NWPs) effective March 15, 2026. The NWPs authorize activities subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 as long as the proposed activity meets the terms and conditions of the NWP. In the 2026 NWPs, 56 NWPs were reissued, one new NWP was issued, and one NWP was not reissued. These NWPs authorize activities associated with various categories of projects ranging from aids to navigation, mooring buoys, maintenance activities, utility line crossings, residential developments, agricultural activities, aquatic ecosystem restoration activities, and improving passage for aquatic organisms. This webinar provided an overview of the 2026 NWPs, with a focus on the changes to the NWPs, as well as an overview of the notice requesting comment on potential future changes to the NWPs. The comment period on the notice ends on May 15, 2026.

INTRODUCTION

PRESENTERS

• Sunny Fleming, Esri [PDF Presentation]
• Andy Carroll, Skytec 

ABSTRACT 

The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) is the most authoritative national dataset for wetlands, yet in many areas its coverage is decades old. Recent policy changes, including the Sackett v. EPA decision, place greater responsibility on states to develop strategies for protecting wetland resources. This webinar you learned how the state of Tennessee partnered with Skytec to enhance Esri’s Wetland Identification Model (WIM) with advanced GeoAI and cloud computing to produce more accurate, scalable wetland predictions. They also covered tools to help states get started, how these efforts align with emerging policy trends, and a vision for scaling this approach nationally. You will see how these innovations help states make informed, data-driven decisions for conservation, permitting, and land-use planning.
