Michigan's Wetlands Map Viewer was created for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Water Resources Division. The purpose of this application is to provide the public with quick and easy access to wetland spatial data for Michigan, allowing users to view, print, and export wetland mapping data.

Users can find wetland map data through a text search or map search. Users can print and/or save generated maps and download the wetland data by county.
Data layers include: gage stations, lakes and streams, dams, road-hydrology intersections, trout streams, recreational prospecting streams, 303 wetlands inventory, wetland soils, National Wetlands Inventory, potential wetlands restoration, conservation and recreation lands, watershed basins, mitigation watersheds, ecoregions, conservation easements, cranberry suitability, mnfi landcover, coastal habitat, lake contours, and geology of Michigan.
Michigan outlines actions to reduce phosphorus loading to Lake Erie.
The Great Lakes Panel on Aquatic Nuisance Species coordinates education, research, management and policy efforts to prevent new AIS from entering the basin and to control and mitigate those AIS populations already established. The Great Lakes Panel is one of six regional panels that report to the federal Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force, which coordinates AIS efforts on a federal level.
The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Governors & Premiers Aquatic Invasive Species Task Force works to stop the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS) into the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River Basin. Since its inception, the Task Force has coordinated state and provincial efforts to combat AIS through strategic regional action.
Through the Aquatic Invasive Species Annex of the 2012 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, the United States and Canada have committed to “… contribute to the achievement of the General and Specific Objectives of this Agreement. Through this Annex the Parties shall establish a binational strategy to prevent the introduction of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS), to control or reduce the spread of existing AIS, and to eradicate, where feasible, existing AIS within the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem.”
The Wetlands Mapper displays current information on the status, extent, characteristics and functions of wetlands, riparian, and deepwater habitats in the United States. This information is intended to promote the understanding and conservation of wetland resources through discovery and education as well as to aid in resource management, research and decision making.
The Wisconsin DNR's Surface Water Data Viewer (SWDV) is an interactive map that displays primarily statewide water-related data.
The Science in the Great Lakes (SiGL) Mapper displays basin-wide multi-disciplinary monitoring and research activities conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and partners in all five Great Lakes. It was designed to help Great Lakes researchers and managers strategically plan, implement, and analyze monitoring and restoration activities by providing easy access to historical and on-going project metadata while allowing them to identifying gaps (spatially and topically) that have been underrepresented in previous efforts or need further study.
The Coastal Wetland and Tributary Decision Support Tool for the Duck-Pensaukee is an interactive, online map designed to help conservationists prioritize sites in the Duck-Pensaukee Watershed for land protection and restoration projects. The Duck-Pensaukee Watershed is a sub-watershed of Green Bay and faces serious conservation challenges. These challenges include the loss of coastal wetlands, which clean polluted water, intercept waste, protect our shorelines from erosion, provide food and shelter for migratory birds, and serve as nurseries for fish and other aquatic life.
nowCOAST is a GIS-based web mapping portal that displays near real-time observations, analyses, tide predictions, model guidance, watches/warnings, and forecasts for the coastal United States. nowCOAST is designed to be a planning aid to assist recreational and commercial mariners, coastal managers, HAZMAT responders, coastal ocean modelers, and marine educators to discover and display real-time information for their particular needs and geographic area of interest.
