No one believes that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/swamps" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>swamps</span></a> and marshes alone can starve the algae blooms, but experts say they are an important part of the solution. 'Wetlands are wonderful filtration systems,' says Richard Stumpf, an oceanographer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration who monitors <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/algae" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>algae</span></a> outbreaks. And because wetlands around the Great Lakes offer vital habitat where birds can rest during migration or raise their young, restoring them not only improves water quality but also brightens the outlook for vulnerable avian species. </p><p>“'There’s momentum building behind <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NatureBasedSolutions" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NatureBasedSolutions</span></a>,' says Kyle Rorah, regional director of public policy for Ducks Unlimited.
