Notes
- Wetlands are as diverse as rainforest
- They are rapidly disappearing about half of the wetlands in each state have disappeared
- They disappear for the same reason that they are incredible, it's changing nature
- Wetlands can adjust to any changes in water levels
- flooding in other areas near wetlands happen because they are destroyed as people build on them
- Shifts in water levels can affect birds that have short legs and feed in shallow areas
- Wetlands are very vulnerable to human activities
Summary
Wetlands are very incredible, and diverse water systems. Although they are small they can be as diverse as rainforest. These wetlands are disappearing for the same reason that they are so incredible. Wetlands change in nature continuously making them amazing that they can survive , but at the same time for that very reason they are disappearing. About half of all wetlands in each state have disappeared except Alaska and Hawaii. Regulations have been set to ensure that these wetlands stay the way they are and no more construction will be done.
Opinion
I think wetlands are an amazing thing, especially since they are so diverse and have vegetation that can survive flooding. It's great that these ecosystems that are flooded can contain not only aquatic life, but also terrestrial life. What I did not realize was that wetlands are disappearing rapidly because of changes that we have made. I didn't realize that small changes can really affect niches in this ecosystem. I think it's great that people near these wetlands have helped made regulations that can protect these wetlands from any changes we can make like building on them.
