Oh no, not the wetlands!

So as I've been pointing out all this talk on how the highlands and other ecosystems affect the oceans, here we have an article that is chronicling the loss of wetlands in Louisiana. One thing that the wetlands provide assistance in keeping the oceans healthy is by absorbing and preventing farm nutrients, waste and other run offs from reaching the coasts.

One of many more reasons coming up on why we should be moving to a more sustainable and eco-friendly society.
