The goals of the wetland program include increasing the quantity and quality of wetlands in the U. S. by conserving and restoring wetland acreage and improving wetland condition.

In pursuing these goals, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seeks to develop the capacity of all levels of government to develop and/or refine effective, comprehensive programs for wetland protection and management.

In addition to developing and/or refining wetland protection and management programs, the EPA seeks to build wetland programs that incorporate climate change and environmental justice considerations.
