Wetlands
QVMAG Museum at Inveresk - Entry Free
Wetlands are dynamic ecosystems with complex relationships between the many organisms that live within them. They are transitional zones between terrestrial (land) and aquatic (water) systems and occur from sea level all the way to alpine country.
Wetlands have been important places for humans and human settlements and have inspired artists as places of great beauty.
The kanamaluka/Tamar wetlands have been reduced in extent due to reclamation for urban development and farming. Nonetheless, they remain a thriving ecosystem for a vast number of species and are today an internationally important habitat for migratory wading birds.
