Freshwater Science Webinar: Are Wetlands the Kidneys of the Landscape?: The H2Ohio Wetlands Monitoring Program

The H2Ohio Wetlands Monitoring Program is assessing how effective restored and constructed wetlands throughout Ohio are at filtering the polluting nutrients that fuel harmful algal blooms out of our watersheds. This talk will give an overview of wetland ecosystem science and the monitoring program’s early results!
