“…In the United States, Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires a permit to discharge, dredge or fill material into navigable waters. In effect, it regulates which wetlands can be dredged or filled, and determines what mitigative measures are necessary, if any (Kusler, 1992). One important problem that policy makers and the courts face in regulating wetlands through Section 404 is the extent of landowner's rights to convert wetlands to other land uses.…”

The term wetlands refers to a mosaic of important ecosystems that typically form transition zones between uplands and aquatic environments. These areas provide support functions for natural and living resources and mediate biogeochemical transformations of global significance. It is becoming clear that the introduction of toxic and other contaminants to large wetland areas has contributed to a series of undesirable trends in habitat quality; availability of valuable fish and wildlife; and quality of associated resources, including surface and ground waters. The purpose of this review is to indicate the importance of wetlands to regional and global ecology and discusses research on the effects of contaminants in wetland ecosystems. Areas of needed future research also are suggested.
