Interpreting Utah’s Wetlands

چکیده
Introduction Utah’s wetlands provide a constellation of recreational opportunities, from sailing to photography, fishing to birdand wildlife-watching, hunting to picnicking. Even more important are the roles wetlands play in the functioning of Utah’s ecosystems.

Interpretive efforts that focus on recreational opportunities and wetlands education have the potential to benefit both humans and their environment.
