Florida Wetlands

Florida wetlands are areas where water covers the land either permanently or seasonally, creating a unique ecosystem. They include swamps, marshes, and bogs that support diverse plant and animal life, such as alligators, herons, and various fish. These wetlands help filter water, control floods, and recharge underground aquifers. They are vital for maintaining environmental health, supporting biodiversity, and providing resources for local communities. Florida's wetlands are sensitive and valuable, requiring careful conservation to preserve their ecological functions and scenic beauty.
