Lifeblood of the Land: Water

For this reflective essay, I would like you to write 4 to 5 paragraphs reflecting on your use of wetlands. Perhaps you grew up near wetlands or regularly go fishing or hunting in wetland environments. If so, write about these experiences and the positive impact wetlands have had on your life. If you do not regularly use wetlands, reflect on the value of wetlands in more general terms. How do you benefit indirectly from our wetlands and how would their loss negatively impact your life?

Each paragraph should average 4 to 5 full sentences. I'm looking for a complete, well thought out essay here. Be thorough and descriptive in your essay and be sure to draw on the materials covered in the course directly. For full points, you should not simply write an opinion piece - you must back up your opinions with facts derived from the video and your readings and assignments.
