Try searching on "human impact wetlands" for lots of sites with good information -- for one, Maryland Department of Environment:

"Human influences have caused significant changes in the function and quality of many wetlands. These changes have resulted from alteration of the physical, chemical and biological components of wetland ecosystems. Widespread land development and clearing have caused increased erosion in uplands areas leading to increased sedimentation in lowland wetlands. This increased accumulation of sediment can alter the chemical and hydrologic regime of the wetlands in a relatively short time. Other human acitivities which can have lasting effects on wetland ecosystems include stream channelization, dam construction, discharge of industrial wastes and municipal sewage (point source pollution) and runoff urban and agricultural areas (non-point source pollution). These activities contribute to changes in the flood regime of wetlands and the input and cycling of nutrients."

The link is below with further information on this.

They buy the land and then fill it in so there is no more wetlands to be able to build buildings.

i replace into annoyed at examining this question, then became much extra annoyed at examining the previous solutions. because of the fact somebody broadcasts armageddon on people harming people and animals, (which makes them admittedly somewhat a nut interest), does no longer advise this is okay to harm people or animals. And as for the guy satisfied on the chair of leather-based, i'm a vegetarian and at present residing on a chair of YOUR MUM ha ha
