Although wetlands accommodate basic abode for birds and added species, they aswell accommodate flood ascendancy and are the safe nurseries for angle that go into the ocean. Wetlands are a ample tourism draw. Ecotourism, abnormally bird watching, is the fastest growing articulation of tourism. Long Beach needs the endure actual allocation of wetlands in Long Beach added than we charge development on and beside wetlands. We achievement the Planning Department and the board associates won't even accede added development on or abutting to wetlands."
