delta ecosystem services

Delta ecosystem services are the benefits that wetlands, rivers, and surrounding habitats provide to communities and the environment. These include natural flood control, water filtration, nutrient cycling, habitat for wildlife, and opportunities for recreation. In essence, deltas act as natural buffers, helping to protect land from flooding, maintain clean water, support diverse species, and enhance quality of life. Preserving these ecosystems ensures they continue to deliver these vital services sustainably, benefiting both nature and people.
