Wetlands are areas of fen, marsh, peatland or water, whether artificial or natural, temporary or permanent, with water that is flowing or static, brackish, fresh or salt, including marine water areas, the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six metres. The Montreux Record should be employed to identify priority sites for positive international and national attention towards conservation.Sites may be removed from and added to the Record only with Contracting Parties’ approval in which they lie.
