Wetlands in the Coastal Plains play a vital role in the environment by acting as natural filters for pollutants and supporting rich biodiversity.

These ecosystems are essential for improving water quality, as they trap sediments and absorb harmful substances before they enter larger water bodies. Additionally, wetlands provide critical habitats for a wide variety of plant and animal species, making them important for maintaining ecological balance. They also serve as flood buffers, absorbing excess rainfall and mitigating the impacts of flooding on surrounding areas. By preserving wetlands, we can protect these essential functions, enhance biodiversity, and ensure healthier ecosystems in the Coastal Plains.
