When we think of wetlands we often think of the local swamp or low lying area near the coast, but wetlands are much more than that! Swamps, marshes, billabongs, lakes, saltmarshes, mudflats, mangroves, coral reefs, fens and peat bogs are wetlands. Put simply, almost anywhere that can be wet is a wetland, as long as it has plants, animals or soil types that are adapted to wet conditions.

This channel supports WetlandInfo, the first-stop-shop for wetland information in Queensland, providing a range of tools and resources to assist with the sustainable management of wetlands. Our information is provided by a range of stakeholders, including federal, state and local governments, regional natural resource management bodies, research institutions and other reliable sources.
