The banded flutterer dragonfly is found along the north and east coasts of Australia as well as Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia. They prefer still or slow-running waters, and glide or flutter their wings slowly. They can change speed and direction suddenly when flight.

Badlands National Park sits upon highly erodible sedimentary rocks that form distinctive pinnacles, gullies and spires. Threats to the park include illegal fossiling and the invasion of weeds and non-native grasses.

Lower Mississippi land use is dominated by developed, forested and cropland areas, and has the largest proportion of wetlands of the entire Mississippi River Basin.

Emergent wetland species are planted in a buoyant matrix that floats at the water surface. The roots of these plants grow through the matrix and take up the nutrients they need to grow directly from the water, potentially decreasing nutrient concentrations.
Floating Wetlands Structure and Impact
Coastal wetlands that are protected from erosion have an adequate sediment supply to build upwards, and will likely be more resilient to the effects of climate change.

Permeable pavers are brick-like materials that are manufactured in a variety of shapes. Pavers fit together like tiles and are set with small gaps between them, creating grooves for water to infiltrate the soil beneath. Permeable pavers reduce stormwater runoff volume and flow rate, and increase groundwater infiltration and recharge.
