Wetlands are a critical part of our natural environment. They protect our shores from wave action, reduce the impacts of floods, absorb pollutants and improve water quality. They provide habitat for animals and plants and many contain a wide diversity of life, supporting plants and animals that are found nowhere else.

There are local variances to this number, but the average is a good place to start. If you have an existing wetland and the state requires 10 acres of preservation to generate a credit, then your wetland value would be: $60,000 per credit. 10:1 acre to credit ratio for preservation

Some landowners can earn additional money through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, which covers all restoration costs and gives landowners in some states a yearly rental payment. Landowners may also earn money by leasing their wetlands to hunters.

If you live near a wetland, be careful about providing outdoor access to garbage cans, pet food, and bird seed. All these can attract raccoons, skunks, and other predators, which might prey on reptiles and their young.

Biodiversity loss is caused by five primary drivers: habitat loss, invasive species, overexploitation (extreme hunting and fishing pressure), pollution, climate change associated with global warming. In each case, human beings and their activities play direct roles.

Low biodiversity is when there are a few prominent species and a low number of other species within the habitat. High biodiversity is a habitat or ecosystem that has a high number of different species.

Most people recognize biodiversity by species—a group of individual living organisms that can interbreed. Examples of species include blue whales, white-tailed deer, white pine trees, sunflowers, and microscopic bacteria that can't even be seen by the naked eye.

These include cattails, water lilies, bulltongue, sedges, tamarisk, and many kinds of rush. Wetland plants are adapted to the saturated conditions that persist for a majority of the year. The different vegetation types in a wetland can be divided up into emergents, floating, and submerged plants.

The only safe advice available is to manage wetlands in their existing condition in a manner that retains the vegetation, hydrology/water regime, and soils as they exist. Such activities as recreation, sound forest management, and other passive uses are safe.

Wetlands provide habitat for thousands of species of aquatic and terrestrial plants and animals. Wetlands are valuable for flood protection, water quality improvement, shoreline erosion control, natural products, recreation, and aesthetics.
