Most of California's coastal wetlands are estuarine salt marshes with associated tidal channels and mudflats. Estuaries are formed where freshwater streams meet the sea, and contain variably brackish water. Salt marshes develop along the shores of protected estuarine bays and river mouths, as well as in more marine-dominated bays and lagoons. Wetlands that are less common along the California coast are freshwater marshes, riparian wetlands, bogs, and vernal pools.

The Irish Peatland Conservation Council (IPCC) is a national organisation established in 1982 to conserve and protect a representative sample of Irish bogs.

The GPI is a partnership between NGOs, scientists, research institutes and the private sector that provides a means to identify, develop and fund projects essential to achieve the 'wise use' of peatlands globally. The GPI was formed in response to the Ramsar Guidelines for Global Action on Peatlands (GGAP) to 'foster national, regional and international partnerships of government, private sector and non-government agencies to fund and implement actions in support of such strategies'.

The main goal of the IUCN Water and Nature Initiative is the mainstreaming of an ecosystem approach into catchment policies, planning and management. IUCN members and partners recognise that the budget of the Initiative is small compared to the billions invested annually in water management by the private sector, governments and aid agencies.

The Peatland Ecology Research Group (PERG) was formed through the partnership of the university scientific community, the Canadian peat moss industry and federal and provincial agencies.
