Wetlands can temporarily store flood waters, reduce shoreline erosion, retain pollutants, and provide food, cover and nesting habitat for many animals, which are dependent on wetlands for their survival. In addition, many are aesthetically pleasing and offer varied recreational and educational opportunities.
