Marshes and Wetlands

Marshes and wetlands include a broad range of ecosystem types—sloughs, swamps, marshes, potholes, bogs, and more. Many wetlands in Minnesota have been drained for conversion to agricultural uses. However, their unique value, sensitivity, and place in Minnesota’s diverse ecosystems have led to intense study and increased protection in recent decades.
