Wetlands - Inventory Haute-Garonne

Wetlands are transitional areas between land and water that hostmany animal and plant species. The Environment Code defines them as ‘land, whether exploited or not, usually flooded or full of fresh, salty or brackish water permanently or temporarily; vegetation, where it exists, is dominated by hygrophilic plants for at least part of the year’.

The Department of Ecological Transition of the Haute-Garonne Departmental Council carried out a departmental inventory of wetlands, finalized in 2016. This inventory has an informative and non-regulatory scope. It reflects the current state of knowledge but is not intended to be exhaustive.

The dataset presents the contours of the Haute-Garonne wetlands, their summary description and the methodology used to carry out the inventory. Reports are available for download to supplement this information.
