Wetlands help moderate the effects of flooding and drought, serve as natural water treatment areas for chemical and silt removal, and provide a habitat for fish and wildlife. Wetland ecologists are in demand as past and continuing wetland destruction threatens nature's form of water quality management. These professionals work on wetland protection projects that require monitoring, sampling, analysis, research, restoration planning and implementation, and mitigation (artificial creation of wetland areas to offset the loss of natural ones). Wetland ecologists in the field may have assignments such as sampling water to monitor the quality of fish habitats or taking a census of birds in a certain area.
