The goal of the Alberta Wetland Policy is to conserve, restore, protect and manage Alberta{\textquoteright}s wetlands to sustain the benefits they provide to the environment, society and economy. To achieve this goal, the policy will focus on four outcomes:
- Wetlands of the highest value are protected for the long-term benefit of Albertans
- Wetlands and their benefits are conserved and restored in areas where losses have been high
- Wetlands are managed by avoiding, minimizing and if necessary, replacing lost wetland value
- Wetland Management considers regional context},
