Introduction
Wetlands are found all over the world, including right here in the Northern Territory. In fact, many wetlands are now protected under the Ramsar Convention and the NT is home to two Ramsar listed wetlands.
In this webquest you are going to explore some of the fundamental components of wetlands in the NT and elsewhere in the world, as well as undertake some virtual fieldwork. From the data collected during your virtual fieldwork, as well as the information in this webquest, you will analyse and comment upon management strategies and options, how management may vary from place to place, and the influence of worldviews.
To get started, let's watch a short introductory video on wetlands:[video:file:///D:/env102/movies/topic01/movie_01_100.html align:center]
