Common direct impacts to wetlands include filling, grading, removal of vegetation, building construction and changes in water levels and drainage patterns. Most disturbances that result in direct impacts to wetlands are controlled by State and Federal wetland regulatory programs.

What Is Adversely Affecting Our Wetlands? Human activities cause wetland degradation and loss by changing water quality, quantity, and flow rates; increasing pollutant inputs; and changing species composition as a result of disturbance and the introduction of nonnative species.

Rivers originate as rain on high ground that flows downhill into creeks and streams. They connect to major wetland systems and deltas, which are found on the lower reaches of rivers, where the flow of water slows down and spreads out into expanses of wetlands and shallow water

Generally, if the construction or development plan disturbs or impacts less than half an acre of wetlands, the development will be permitted. Otherwise, to obtain a permit, a wetland master plan must be drawn up, including every impact the development will have on wetlands.

Low biodiversity is characteristic of an unhealthy or degraded environment. A mown lawn in a city park is an example of an ecosystem with low biodiversity. There will be two or three kinds of grasses, some dandelions, of course, and maybe a robin or some starlings poking about for worms or bugs.

Not only do wetland ecosystems support a host of animal and plant life - but they are critically important for the survival humans too, from the mitigation of Climate Change to the protection of human settlements from floods. If we protect wetlands, we also protect our planet and ourselves.
