Global Representation

The SWS Professional Certification program has an expanding membership in many countries across the globe. We are grateful for our regional champions that help to promote the program and support wetland scientists in their regions. These include:

Sylvina Casco, PhD - Argentina
Swapan Paul, PhD - Australia
Shuqing An, Prof. – China
Tatiana Lobato de Magalhães, PhD - Mexico
Muhammed Afzal, PhD – Pakistan
Héctor Aponte, PhD – Peru
Ian Bredin, MSc - South Africa
Wei-ta Fang, Prof. – Taiwan
Matt Simpson, PhD – UK

The highest representation of members is currently in the United States, particularly bordering the larger coastal and fresh water bodies. For PWS, the highest concentrations are aggregated in just two states; Florida and Washington. Stand out regions include the West Coast, Great Lakes and the Atlantic Seaboard. Along the Gulf Coast, the state of Texas has the largest concentration of PWS. The story is similar for WPITs with the highest representation in Pennsylvania, Florida, Washington, and Virginia.
