The Wetland Rapid Assessment Procedure (WRAP) is a matrix developed by the South Florida Water Management District to assist the regulatory evaluation of mitigation sites (created, restored, enhanced or preserved) that are permitted through the District's Management and Storage of Surface Waters of the Environmental Resource Permit processes. The objectives of WRAP are:
WRAP evaluation is a rapid assessment meant to be used within the limited timeframes of the regulatory process. Test results of the WRAP procedure showed it to be highly repeatable and an effective training tool for biologists. As additional data are collected, further analysis will be conducted in attempt to establish a relationship between land use and wetland function.
