Why Wetlands Matter

Wetlands are ecosystems where the presence of water saturates the soil for part or all of the year. They can be tidal salt marshes, freshwater marshes and swamps, or peatlands. Wetlands are among the most productive and valuable ecosystems on Earth. They provide critical benefits for waterfowl, wildlife, humans and sustainability, making their conservation a priority.

For Ducky, wetlands provide life. It's her grocery store, shelter and rest area during migration.

Conservation in the Sunshine State

Ducks Unlimited doesn't just advocate for wetlands. We create them. And you can help!

Before human development, wetlands covered more than 20 million acres in Florida. Today, only half of these landscapes remain. Ducks Unlimited and our partners are committed to protecting, restoring and enhancing wetlands for Ducky and residents to enjoy.
