Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 5 page report discusses
the fact that state officials in Wisconsin are well aware that
wetlands have important value in both ecological and hydrologic
terms. Wetlands furnish fundamental habitat for a wide variety of
plants and animals and also improve overall water quality through
trapping sediment, lowering nutrients and reducing contaminants.
Unique legislation in Wisconsin has been enacted to assure that
wetlands are both restored and protected. In addition, the report
considers the importance of water quality as well as habitat
maintenance in the restoration process. Bibliography lists 5
