🌿 Marshes of the World

These are notable marshes — herbaceous wetlands drowned by standing water, from the reed-beds of the Somerset Levels and the great Fen country of East Anglia to the back-waters of the Danube and the tidal salt-marshes of the Atlantic coast, each a nesting ground for birds and a barrier against flood. Each profile shows where the marsh lies, which country it is in, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.
