Abstract
Often thought of as dismal, dank, and murky mosquito-infested pools of water, wetlands were either avoided or destroyed in the name of real estate development. However, asserting wetlands are wastelands of disease that may only be redeemed via reclamation is a viewpoint of the past. Now the important ecological functions wetlands play are becoming increasingly widely recognized and, therefore, protecting such areas is receiving greater priority.
