Maryland is full of natural wonders. One of its features is wetlands, marshy areas that constantly or seasonally have floodwater covering the soil’s surface. In the area, you can also find many wetland plants, trees, insects, and other animals. Wetlands play a large part in controlling water flow throughout the land, and construction projects can sometimes get in the way of these areas. That’s where wetland mitigation comes in. What is wetland mitigation? Glad you asked.
What Is Wetland Mitigation?
Wetland mitigation is not the destruction of wetlands; it is the opposite. It is the restoration, creation, or enhancement of wetlands destroyed by construction projects. Developers should reap no loss of natural habitat if possible. Wetland mitigation is a subset of mitigation banking that gives credits and debits for restoring wetlands, streams, etc., in the wake of commercial development. To the best of its ability, a construction team will create the most efficient stormwater control through wetland construction.
Benefits of Wetland Mitigation
Tied in with the benefits of wetland mitigation are the benefits of wetlands themselves. One benefit of this type of mitigation is that you preserve the benefits that wetlands give to the environment. It preserves the natural scenery and ecosystem and provides many opportunities for people and animals alike to thrive. People enjoy wetlands for recreation, education, and business partnerships. Plants and animals can thrive without losing ground.
Wetland mitigation is also one of the most natural means of preserving stormwater management. Wetlands are stormwater filters that only let out purified water back into the ground or connecting stream. They also hold and absorb floodwater, preventing banks from flooding.
