  <dc:description>Coastal wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world. These wetlands at the land-ocean margin provide 
many direct benefits to humans, including habitat for commercially important fisheries and wildlife; storm protection; 
improved water quality through sediment, nutrient, and pollution removal; recreation; and aesthetic values. These valuable 
ecosystems will be highly vulnerable to the effects of the rapid rise in sea level predicted to occur during the next century as 
a result of global warming.</dc:description>
