Wetlands help improve water quality and supply, reduce flooding, and provide critical habitat for plants, fish and wildlife.
American Wetlands Month was created in 1991 by EPA and its federal, state, tribal, local, non-profit, and private sector partners to celebrate the vital importance of wetlands to the Nation's ecological, economic, and social health and to educate Americans about the value of wetlands as a natural resource.
