New Brunswick Wetland Boundaries for Land Development Planning

Wetland boundaries for New Brunswick support the WAWA program at the Department of Environment and Local Government. The map identifies wetland locations and potential regulatory requirements for property development. Data was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify regulated wetland areas using the WETLAND_CL and WC columns for preliminary site assessments.
• Calculate the approximate size of wetland polygons in Hectares or Shape_Area for environmental impact studies.
• Spatially analyze wetland distribution via the_geom geometry data for regional conservation planning.
• Assess potential development constraints by joining wetland ID and boundary data with parcel maps.

Strengths

• Includes geometric boundary data (the_geom) for spatial analysis.
• Provides wetland classification (WETLAND_CL, WC) and area metrics (Hectares, Shape_Area).

Limitations

• Wetland boundaries are explicitly noted as only approximate, limiting precision for detailed engineering.
• Sample data and total row count are unavailable, making dataset scale uncertain.
