Direct impacts are direct such as the destruction or degradation of wetlands from land reclamation and infrastructures and indirect such as the impact of pollutants and changes in the river water and sediment discharge from land clearing and dams. As sea level rises, coastal wetlands in most areas of the world migrate landward to occupy former uplands. The competition of these lands from human development is 606 $aEstuarine restoration 606 $aCoastal zone management 606 $aWetland ecology 606 $aCoasts 615 0$aEstuarine restoration. 615 0$aCoastal zone management. 615 0$aWetland ecology. 615 0$aCoasts. 676 $a577.69 701 $aPerillo$b G.
