Wetlands play a vital role in sustaining our environment, from naturally filtering pollutants and improving water quality to providing flood control and critical habitat for plants and wildlife. As we celebrate American Wetlands Month, it’s a great time to reflect on why these ecosystems are essential and how responsible development can help protect them for future generations.
At Sambatek, we believe that sustainable development starts with smart planning. Our environmental team specializes in wetland delineation and regulatory coordination, helping clients understand where wetlands are located and how to develop responsibly around them. We work closely with federal, state, and local agencies to ensure your project remains compliant while minimizing its environmental footprint.
Whether you’re designing a new community, expanding infrastructure, or launching a commercial site, early identification of wetlands can save time, reduce costs, and protect these valuable natural resources.
Why Wetlands Matter:
- Improve Water Quality by filtering out pollutants
- Reduce Flood Risk by absorbing excess rainfall
- Support Biodiversity by providing habitats for fish, birds, and plants
- Boost Climate Resilience through carbon storage and temperature regulation
American Wetlands Month, led by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and supported by state, tribal, nonprofit, and private partners, is a time to celebrate, learn, and explore. Wetlands exist in every U.S. state, chances are, there’s one near you!
