Adventure travel and liveaboard specialists Aggressor Adventures has released an informative video to mark World Wetlands Day, this 2 February 2022. The video, presented by Professional Wetland Scientist Nate Hobbs has been produced to raise awareness about the importance of wetlands conservation.

One-third of the world’s endangered species rely on wetland habitats for their survival. Over 95 per cent of commercially harvested fish and shellfish come from wetlands. Professor Hobbs shares these and many other facts about the ecological significance of the world’s wetlands and the need to protect and preserve them in this brief educational presentation produced by Aggressor Adventures and promoted through the Sea Of Change Foundation.

World Wetlands Day began in 1971 to call attention to the need for investment in financial, human and political capital to save the world’s wetlands from disappearing and to restore damaged environments. The theme for World Wetlands Day 2022 is ‘Wetlands Action for People and Nature.’

‘From the Florida Everglades to the mangroves of Sri Lanka, wetlands are the nurseries where countless species are born, grow and thrive,’ said Aggressor Adventures Chairman & CEO. Wayne Brown ‘It’s imperative that scuba divers like us and our travel industry partners work to preserve and protect our valuable wetlands around the globe. The thrilling dive adventures we all enjoy have their beginnings in healthy and productive wetlands ecosystems.’
