**(a) Findings** The Congress finds and declares that—
(1) the maintenance of healthy populations of migratory birds in North America is dependent on the protection, restoration, and management of wetland ecosystems and associated habitats in Canada, as well as in the United States and Mexico;
(2) wetland ecosystems provide essential and significant habitat for fish, shellfish, and other wildlife of commercial, recreational, scientific, and aesthetic values;
(3) almost 35 per centum of all rare, threatened, and endangered species of animals are dependent on wetland ecosystems;
(4) wetland ecosystems provide substantial flood and storm control values and can obviate the need for expensive manmade control measures;
(5) wetland ecosystems make a significant contribution to water availability and quality, recharging ground water, filtering surface runoff, and providing waste treatment;
(6) wetland ecosystems provide aquatic areas important for recreational and aesthetic purposes;
(7) more than 50 per centum of the original wetlands in the United States alone have been lost;
(8) wetlands destruction, loss of nesting cover, and degradation of migration and wintering habitat have contributed to long-term downward trends in populations of migratory bird species such as pintails, American bitterns, and black ducks;
(9) the migratory bird treaty obligations of the United States with Canada, Mexico, and other countries require protection of wetlands that are used by migratory birds for breeding, wintering, or migration and are needed to achieve and to maintain optimum population levels, distributions, and patterns of migration;
(10) the 1988 amendments to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980 require the Secretary of the Interior to identify conservation measure
