Why are wetlands sometimes viewed as the enemy to development? Primarily because they are protected for a multitude of reasons. Here are just a few reasons wetlands are protected. Because they are an integral part of our existence. Wetlands help to control floods and reduce erosion during storm surge. They help to maintain water quality. The grasses that exist in the wetlands also help to slow run-off and allow contaminated sediments to fall out of suspension. So many species of plants and animals spend their entire lives in the wetlands while some find their food there and others use them as nesting or nursery grounds as a rest stop during migratory times. Marsh plants remove excess nutrients and marsh mud can even remove toxic heavy metals from the water. Coastal wetlands provide valuable open space for recreation, education and research, while at the same time protect the mainland from the destructive power of storm surge and waves.
