    Seaplanes leave absolutely no trace of their visit. Why Seaplanes protect NATURA : In a recent 5 year study on the environmental effects of seaplanes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who are responsible for the waterways in the U.S.A., concluded: Air Quality: no impact Water Quality: no impact Soil Quality: no impact Wildlife: no impact Fisheries: no impact Hydrology: no impact The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service owns a large fleet of seaplanes that is used for the safe and efficient surveillance and tracking of wildlife. The U.S. National Parks System is one of the biggest users of seaplanes in the World – it considers the seaplane essential for the management of their parks. There are many National Parks in the U.S.A where seaplanes and boats provide the only access. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a fleet of seaplanes which are used extensively for biological work, including sea turtle and mammal surveys. The mission of the NOAA is to describe and predict changes in the Earth's environment and to conserve and manage the U.S. coastal and marine resources. Seaplanes are used to monitor the activities and resources in the 1,252 square mile Channel Islands Nautical Marine Sanctuary situated in the Santa Barbara channel off the coast of Southern California. The sanctuary's primary goal is the protection of the natural and cultural resources. The sanctuary is an area of national significance because of its exceptional natural beauty and resources. The Washington State Department of Ecology employs seaplanes to sample water quality - the seaplane is the only form of transport (excluding rowing boats and kayaks) that does not contaminate their findings
