2013 National Wetland Plant List

Published July 25, 2013
National Wetland Plant List Fact Sheet

The 2013 National Wetland Plant List (NWPL) has been published and the updated list contains 7937 plant species, a reduction of 263 from the 2012 list. The majority of deletions were the removal of some upland species, taxonomic splits, merged species, and three errors. There were 12 requests for re-evaluation of indicator statuses and in seven of those species, the indicator status changed. All of these modifications accounted for 327 indicator status changes. Overall, these revisions represent a 2.4% change in species and 1.2% change in wetland ratings from the 2012 NWPL. Many of those plants that were updated are uncommon. A full list of all the changes can be found on the NWPL website under the “What’s New?” section.

Implementation: The Federal agencies will use the 2013 NWPL on all new Jurisdictional Determinations after September 1, 2013. Any delineations underway using the current list will be accepted, please just reference which list was used in your documentation. The NWPL can be found HERE.
