Abstract:

Wetlands in North Carolina are important and productive environments that provide people with a number of benefits. The federal government is inadvertently subsidizing the destruction of these habitats through the National Flood Insurance Program. Government insurance encourages development in areas inhabited by wildlife.

Berger, Michael E.

Abstract:

The rapid loss of wetland habitat is considered one of the most critical natural resource problems in the United States, but steps are being taken to preserve remaining wetlands. The Wetland Loan Act and the Migratory Bird Hunting Conservation stamp are efforts to save land and raise funds for wetlands.

Green, Charlotte Hilton

Abstract:

The state's saltwater marshes serve waterfowl as nesting, resting, and feeding sites. Because of the controversies between conservationists and developers over the use of salt marshes, they are better known then freshwater marshes. Freshwater marshes are created by glaciers, river deltas, beaver dams, and manmade projects and are as important as the saltwater ones. They provide homes to countless birds, mammals, invertebrates, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and many kinds of plants.

Taormina, Anthony S.

Abstract:

The public is slow in awakening to the value of wetlands. These coastal saltwater marshes are among the state's most important natural resources. Once they are lost, they are irreplaceable. Already many wetlands have been converted to housing developments, marinas, dumps, and other manmade structures. Taormina discusses wetlands for their importance in marine and wildlife habitats, erosion control, education, and psychological value.

Poole, Daniel A.

Abstract:

Waterfowl depend on water. They nest on water, raise their young there, and feed in or near water. Without suitable nesting and wintering sites, waterfowl will not survive. Between 1940 and 1964, over forty-five million acres of wetlands were drained throughout the country. Protection of wetlands is vital to waterfowl survival. A major goal of waterfowl management is to blunt the impact of man's activities on ducks and geese. Poole discusses what has been done in the past, what is being done today, and what wildlife agencies hope to do in the future, and why.
