Wetlands are found near the sea or inland and can be seasonal – they are water logged only during parts of the year, or perennial. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by:- Preventing flooding by absorbing water.
- Ensuring that the soil provides a unique breeding ground for vegetation that feeds fish.
- Giving shelter to animals.
- Purifying water by removing sediment.
