Global Climate Change should be recognized as a threat to all living species and the health of our overall ecosystems. Wetlands are especially at risk of rapidly declining and decreasing the quality and quantity of the ecosystem services they give due to global climate change. Climate change will also make future efforts to restore and manage wetlands more complicated. These wetland systems are vulnerable to changes to their water supply, and it is known that in the future climate change will infiltrate hydrological regimes with great global variability (Wetlands Ecol Manage (2009) 17:71–84). Climate change will significantly alter many of the world’s coastal and wetland ecosystems if we don't try and make a change now.
