The Secret Life of Wetlands: Finding Solutions to Environmental Threats at UMD

i love nature

Hey fuck your policy making, you do what is logical, truthful and right, not political.

SUMMARY-
– Coastal wetlands (including mangroves,
salt marshes and coral reefs) act as
protective barriers against waves, storm
surges and tsunamis.
– Inland wetlands (such as river, flood
plains, lakes, swamps) function like
sponges, absorbing and storing excess
rainfall and reducing flood surges.
– During the dry season in arid climates,
wetlands release the water stored which
helps delay the onset of droughts, and
minimizes water shortages.
– Peatlands and mangroves store vast
quantities of carbon which helps to
mitigate climate change. Peatlands in
particular store twice as much carbon as
all the world’s forests.
