Since 1937, DU has conserved and restored over 15 million acres of the most critical habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife across North America. This wetland habitat is crucial for our vision of waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.
Wetlands and bordering uplands are one of the most effective natural water quality filters when sited, designed, and managed properly.
Wetlands provide life-sustaining habitat for thousands of diverse species of plants and animals, including at least a third of the nation’s threatened and endangered species and more than 900 North American bird species.
In some parts of the country, wetlands play a vital role in recharging aquifers that are important for irrigation and drinking water. Wetlands capture drifting snow and runoff from summer storms and slowly release that water to underlying aquifers.
As water moves from headwaters through river systems and ultimately reaches estuaries, wetlands along the way play vital roles in storing and slowly releasing flood waters. When wetlands are drained, the drainage area boundary increases, water moves downstream faster and flood peaks increase.
Today, 22 of the 32 largest U.S. cities, such as Boston, San Francisco and Tampa Bay, are located on coastal estuaries.
