Wetlands Brochure - By safeguarding and restoring wetlands, we reduce the impacts of floods and droughts and build resilience to climate change. Hydric soils, wetland vegetation, and wetland hydrology. Wetlands are the link between the land and the water. Wetlands are valuable because they reduce flooding, provide wildlife habitat, help recharge aquifers, and filter polluted water. How can wetlands be recognized? Wetlands on the coasts fill up and drain twice a day because of the tides from the ocean. Wetland scientists and regulators use three principal types of wetland characteristics or “parameters” in defining, mapping, and delineating wetlands: By law, wetlands are defined by the kind of plants that grow in them (such as jewel weed, red maples, or skunk cabbage) and the kind of soils that exist there. Numerous bird species use wetlands in hawai‘i for feeding, breeding, and over wintering. Wetlands are defined by the kind of plants that grow in them and the kind of soils that exist there.
