I'd like to find out about the different types of wetlands.

Wetland is an area that is saturated with water for at least part of the year and has plants adapted to living in or near water, such as hydrophytes, marsh plants, and aquatic vegetation. There are many different types of wetlands, including marshes, swamps, bogs, fens, and mangroves. Marshes are usually found along rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water, while swamps are typically found in low-lying areas with standing water. Bogs are similar to swamps but have a higher proportion of sphagnum mosses, which help retain moisture. Fens are shallow depressions filled with water during the winter months and dry out completely during the summer. Mangroves are trees that grow in saltwater environments, often on coastlines, and can provide protection from waves and tides.
