1. Wetlands help keep our water clean. They remove pollutants, wastes, and other harmful substances that are toxic in large doses.
2. They prevents floods and droughts. This is especially true of the Riparian marshes, which absorb water during floods and release water during droughts.
3. They are home to many plants and animals that do not live anywhere else. Diversity in the Earth's species are often good for the economy. More importantly, the species in the wetlands should be protected because many of the problems in the wetlands are caused by people. We have to take responsibility for our actions.
BJ Sullivan is stupid she doesn't have a answer. She is not an expert!
It is called Pantanal and located in the State of Matto Grosso in Brazil
I think that the world's largest marsh in the world is: Everglades in Florida.
They live in the wild around our canals and river banks
Foods that are grown in wetlands require very wet soil conditions. One traditional Thanksgiving food that grows in wetlands is cranberry's.
wetlands act as filters by taking nitrates, amonia, and phosphates out of the water and turning them into biomass through uptake by SAV's, trees, phytoplankton and aufwuchs
I don't really know why some coasts are not protected, but my guess is that it's expensive most of the time to put up sea defenses... Some may be missing defense because it's not eco friendly (hard engineering, that is) and not very attractive. This lowers the value of beaches. Then there are some beaches on small islands or isolated coasts that maybe don't really need the protection because either no one cares or there's no need for them. Isolated coastlines don't really need them...
Anyway, this was my geography homework question and i think I may have answered it... Maybe... Wtv.
Hope this answers your question!

Australian wetlands look rather like wetlands in other areas of the world. As permanent waterholes, they support a huge variety of native bird and animal life. They tend to be surrounded by sparse bushland, but some wetlands may be contained within heavier tropical rainforest.
The habitats favoured by swans vary with species, but they are often found on rivers and streams, particularly slower flowing ones. They also frequent lakes.
To reduce death of fish for eating. Wetlands provide a valuable flood control function and are also very effective at filtering and cleaning water before it get in to our lakes and streams.
Basically, The Everglades is a subtropical wetland, that consists of :
Inland Wetlands-
& Coastal Wetlands
The animals and plants found on the wetlands are:
PLANTS: Mangroves; wildflowers; cord grass; sea ox-eye daisy.
ANIMALS: alligators; great blue haron.
Hope this helps!
