IV. Section 4 Wetland Environments

A. Wetland Habitats 1.An area of land that Is covered with a shallow layer of water during some of the year 2.Provide habitats for many living things 3.Many similar organisms as ponds as well as migratory birds

B. Importance of Wetlands 1.Provide natural water filtration 2.Help control floods by absorbing extra runoff

C. The Everglades: A Unique Environment 1.Provide habitats for many endangered species 2.Chemicals threaten Everglades 3.Some has been filled in to build new homes 4.Water redirected changed the flow of water- some areas are drying up while other have flooded 5.Government working to save the Everglades by using a pipe system to redirect water
