heres a start
Our goal in creating a more stable and healthier fish population as it pertains to wetlands translates to lessening the rate of depletion of wetlands and restoreing needed wetlands on a basis of regional necessity. While the lack of them is common across the globe, the need for specific ones and often the destruction of them due to natural disasters or human interference varies with location. Thus an important compilation of both local task forces, primarily lead by wetlands international (a compilation of regional offices and groups) assisted by and encouraged by laws and regulations. Organazations like Wetlands International play a particularly important role in this setup because they both organize the needed local task forces and catalyse the polical action process. Wetlands internationals mission stament serves to clarify its duality in its propasal that it "works in local areas to help create resotoration programs combined with stricter enforcement." In the following pages, I will summarize both case specific international policies laws and regulations.
A) South East Asia: Wetlands International is working on the coast to restablish wetlands that were lost during the 2004 Tsumani.
Mangrove coastal forest- help protect from storms
1.2 million mangrove seedling were intorudced positivlty affecteing 91,000 people
Green coast- through working capital, grants and technical advice communities affected by the tsunami (Indonesia, India, Thailand and Malaysia) are
1) Indonesia: Problem because the wetlands swamps are illegally logged and drained for agriculture → wild fires and soil oxidation (carbon dioxide)
worked on finalizing the National Stratergey and Action Plan for Peatland Management
2) Orissa: at Chilika Lagoon → the state government changed there water allocation policy
3) India on Loktak Lake
B) Ukrane- maps and information provided by the Black Sea office guided establishment of the Dniro eco-corrido as part of the realistation of the Ukranian econet
C) Mali- helped create a National wetlands Policy and Action Plan
General Projects:

*Peat is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation matter. Peat forms in wetlands or peatlands, variously called bogs, moors, muskegs, pocosins, mires, and peat swamp forests.
