Tennessee’s wetlands play a critical role in disaster restoration. When storms or other disasters strike, wetlands can help reduce damage by absorbing excess water and sediment. They also provide critical habitat for fish and wildlife.
In the aftermath of a disaster, wetlands can help speed recovery by providing essential ecosystem services. For example, they can help purify water, control flooding, and provide habitat for fish and wildlife.
Wetlands are an important part of Tennessee’s natural landscape and play a vital role in disaster restoration.
