A lot of creatures depend on the wetlands, for food, shelter, and pit stops.
 

Many birds use Wetlands during their annual migration. Such

birds as: geese, herons, egrets, ducks, cranes, yellow-headed

blackbirds, marsh hawks, rails, and kingfishers. They use wetlands

for shelter while they are migrating. Without wetlands they would

not be able to migrate and they could die.
 

Many fish spawn in wetlands, these wetlands provide food

and protection for smaller fish. Amphibians need wetlands to

reproduce. Turtles, snakes, and insects thrive in wetlands.
