About Wetlands US
Wetlands US is an online platform dedicated to raising awareness about the vital benefits of wetlands and advocating for their conservation. With the tagline “Earth’s Lungs, Nature’s Sanctuary,” we aim to promote the understanding and protection of these essential ecosystems.
Our Founder
Morgan L. Hayes, a passionate wetland ecologist, is the driving force behind Wetlands US. With over 15 years of experience studying and advocating for America’s wetlands, Morgan’s deep connection to these unique environments stems from their upbringing in the bayous of Louisiana.
As a child, surrounded by the richness of biodiversity in their own backyard, Morgan’s love for wetlands took root. This early inspiration propelled their career as a wetland ecologist, dedicating their life to preserving and promoting the importance of these precious ecosystems.
Our Vision
Wetlands US is the realization of Morgan’s dream to create a platform that educates and informs people about the indispensable benefits of wetlands. Through our website and various outreach endeavors, we strive to inspire action and mobilize individuals, communities, and policymakers towards wetland conservation.

Our Founder’s Passion
When Morgan is not knee-deep in marshes, their love for wetlands extends to other activities. They enjoy bird watching, kayaking, and capturing the wonders of wetlands through photography and writing.
