This behavior is know as grubbing and when done in mass quantities can destroy whole marshes for decades. A project known as the "Hudson Bay Project: Ecosystem Studies and Conservation

Wetlands are extremely valuable to society. Wetlands can decrease flooding, remove pollutants from water, recharge groundwater, protect shorelines, provide habitat for wildlife, and serve important recreational and cultural functions. The Mississippi River Delta ecosystems alone provide at least $12 – 47 billion in benefits to people every year. If wetlands are lost, the cost of replacing them can be extremely expensive, if at all possible. Lost wetlands can result in a city having to invest more

The loss of Louisiana coastal land is one of the most, major factors in our environment today. Louisiana has already lost 1,880 square miles of land in the past eight decades. This problem is effecting the state funding to help solve the problem before the state lose more coastal land. In order to stop this situation, the state needs to have a stronger structural protection for the coastline (Wilson, 2013). Louisiana's wetlands today represent about 40 percent of the wetlands of the continental

Provide the class with the details of the project (location, acres restored, methods used, species benefited if available, etc.). Be sure to integrate what you find with what you are learning in your text and other readings and supplement it with additional research. ALSO, as September 17th is Constitution Day, I want you to reflect on this and comment on it in your forums for this week.

California’s central valley air contains several different toxic pollutants produced by things such as industries, vehicles, and other means. Ozone is a type of pollutant that can cause serious health issues. It is produced when nitrogen dioxide, which is produced by cars and power plants, is exposed to the sun. Nitrogen dioxide alone can cause breathing issues and damage to the lungs. When nitrogen dioxide becomes ozone, it can cause eye, nose and throat irritation, cause damage to rubber,

Society views about wetlands have changed considerably since the continent was settled by the colonists, and especially since the mid-20th century when interest in wetland preservation and protection for the functions and values they serve emerged (Dahl & Allord, 1996). In the 1700’s, there were approximately 90 million hectares of wetlands in what is now the conterminous forty-eight states, with a significant proportion of those associated with the nation’s river systems (Dahl, Johnson, & Frayer

I. Introduction A. Attention Getter- Louisiana has lost over 1900 square miles of wetlands, and continues to lose 25-35 square miles of wetlands each year. That equals out to a football field of land lost each hour. 2 B. Credibility statement- Louisiana has the greatest amount of land loss due to coastal erosion.3 According to S. Jeffress Williams, “The swamps and marshes of coastal Louisiana are among the Nation’s most fragile and valuable wetlands, vital not only to recreational and agricultural
