May is American Wetlands Month

Join the EPA in celebrating American Wetlands Month in May. This year's theme, It Pays to Save Wetlands, focuses on the economic and environmental benefits of wetlands, including cleaner water, less flood damage and more seafood. EPA and its partners in government, private industry and public interest groups have planned events nationwide highlighting the importance of protecting and preserving wetlands.
