How does restore wetlands help in adaptation to sea level rise ?

Restoring wetlands can help in adaptation to sea level rise in several ways:

1. Wetlands act as natural buffers against storm surges and flooding, helping to reduce the impact of rising sea levels on coastal communities.

2. Wetlands can absorb and store excess water, helping to reduce the risk of flooding during high tides and storm events.

3. Wetlands provide habitat for a variety of plant and animal species, which can help to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem resilience in the face of changing sea levels.

4. Restored wetlands can also help to sequester carbon and mitigate the effects of climate change, which is a key driver of sea level rise.

Overall, restoring wetlands can help to enhance the resilience of coastal ecosystems and communities in the face of rising sea levels and other climate-related challenges.
