Answer 2

These rich, usually soggy places provide critical habitat for numerous species, help clean our water, control floods, and provide plenty of food for humans. Like many environments, wetlands have long been misunderstood.
Listening to the first frogs of the spring. Scanning tall grasses for a sandhill crane's nest. Dipping a canoe paddle into chocolate-colored water. Swatting mosquitoes. Pulling cattails to collect their roots for a salad. Eating cranberries, crab cakes, shrimp, and wild rice. Drinking fresh water. Watching sea turtles float in the ocean. All of these activities depend on wetlands.
