The Swamp School is sponsoring a new wetland plant inventory project and we need your help. In the US we have a fairly comprehensive catalog of known and suspected wetland plants. It was originally developed by the USFWS (US Fish and Wildlife Service) and is now managed by the USACOE (US Army Corps of Engineers).
However, internationally no such list exists. As wetland programs evolve around the world the need to identify hydrophytes becomes more apparent. To that end, the Swamp School is hosting an international wetland plant database using the same ratings as the USACOE. We are looking for volunteers to contribute to the database around the world. There is no cost to participate. We have a detailed blog post that describes the program and how to register.

We have also posted this information on Facebook if you wish to share that way. Facebook Post: https://www.facebook.com/swampschool Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
