What is a wetland?
A wetland is simply an area of land that is wet during the growing season. To be a true wetland it needs to have three things: wetland plants, wetland soils, and evidence of water at or near the surface.
Nearly 25 percent of Delaware is covered in wetlands. To learn more about the state's wetlands, please visit the Wetland Types website.
