Wetland Services
Wetlands play a crucial role in nutrient cycling, water purification,
stormwater retention, and provide critical wildlife habitat. Wetlands
also help clean contaminated surface water through physical and
biological filtration. Freshwater and salt marshes provide habitat for
wildlife and aquatic biota (e.g., waterfowl, shorebirds, small mammals,
reptiles, amphibians, fish, and aquatic insects). Since 1980, measures
implemented by the United States to preserve wetlands have begun to pay
off. The loss of wetlands and marshes has been reduced, and the loss of
benefits provided by these habitats has also been reduced. Benchmark
scientist are experts in the fields of wetland construction,
restoration, monitoring, habitat evaluation, and delineation. |
