This research was conducted to carry out the rapid assessment method in 3 wetlands, Anzali, Boojagh and Miyankaleh, for the first time in Iran. In this research the compilation of the Caspian Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM) was carried out. This method derives from the Ohio Rapid Assessment Method (ORAM) by making some changes to some indices and eliminating some sub-indexes. These changes affect the characteristics of wetlands in the southern coastal region of the Caspian Sea. So the wetland assessment was carried out by CRAM for these 3 wetlands. The results show the points, 60 for Anzali, 47 for Boojagh and 56 for Miyankaleh, and all wetlands are level 2. Level 2 wetlands are destroyed but recoverable. The results show that the conservation priorities for wetlands are: 1-Anzali 2-Miyankaleh 3-Boojagh. IntroductionThe Rapid Wetland Assessment Procedure (WRAP) is an assessment index for wetland assessment. This standardized rating index can be used in combination with professional judgment to provide an accurate and consistent assessment of wetland sites (Miller et al, 1999).
