America's Wetlands

Texas Parks & Wildlife – Wetlands are the transitional zones between uplands and deep water – areas where water covers soil all or part of the time – protecting and improving water quality, providing fish and wildlife habitats, storing floodwaters and maintaining surface water flow during dry periods.
In the past, wetlands have been viewed as nuisance areas but now are recognized for their value to human health and economics and are protected ecosystems.
Often thought of as a relatively dry state, Texas contains millions of acres of wetlands of varying types, performing a wide array of functions that are invaluable to wildlife and humankind.
