(a) - (a) (i) Conservation management category wetlands support a high level of attributes and functions. Wetlands are assigned to a management category following evaluation, which is the process of documenting and assessing a wetland's values by considering information about its attributes and functions. If a wetland no longer supports a high level of attributes and functions due to grazing or other impacts, it may be re-evaluated by the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) via existing processes. (b) - (b) (i) Multiple Use management category wetlands retain few important ecological attributes and functions. If grazing or other impacts have degraded or altered a wetland such that it retains few important attributes and functions, it may be re-evaluated and its management category changed by the DEC to reflect its values.
