The goal of this report is to provide a review of the existing science and economic practices of using wetlands as part of water quality trading programs. This report evaluates the technical, economic, and administrative components of developing and implementing water quality trading (WQT) programs to nu- trient removal is the primary focus to improve water quality. This report collates and synthesizes current literature with the goal of providing a baseline understanding of the current state of the use of wetlands in water quality trading programs. Although this document is intended to gather a signiicant amount of the current scientiic literature available at the time of publication, it should be noted that it does not include all possible literature available on the subject due to the constantly evolving work in this area. This document should be used as a component of all the science on this subject and not considered as the sole document in this area.
