Partner Profile: Conserving Wetlands With Ducks Unlimited - Seite 2

The marsh habitat helps during times of drought and flooding and supports a much larger ecosystem. DU estimates more than 5 million shorebirds and up to 4 million waterfowl use this region annually, making it one of the most important wetland complexes in North America.

"This place, Great Salt Lake and the area around it, is really a rest stop, an oasis in the desert for all sorts of migratory species," said Casey Snider, Ducks Unlimited Water Outreach Specialist. "The work we're doing here will impact the entire intermountain west."

"Ducks Unlimited does such important work preserving critical elements of our natural environment, and Marathon is happy to support their efforts," said Brad Shafer, MPC Government Affairs Manager, a key player in the partnership with DU. "Because of our long-time presence in the community here, it is important to us that we invest to sustain habitats like these for generations to come."

Restoration in the Pacific Northwest

MPC also gave DU $221,000 that was raised at the company's 2022 charity golf tournament in San Antonio. DU is using that grant to complete four similar projects in Washington state.

• Red Creek Floodplain Restoration, Skagit County, Washington
• Nookachamps Floodplain Restoration, Skagit County, Washington
• Guemes Island Wetland Restoration and Habitat Improvement, Skagit County, Washington
• Leading Restoration and Public Access Planning at Ebey Island

"Combined, these four completed projects could ultimately lead to restoration of nearly 1,000 acres in Washington, including near Marathon Petroleum's refinery in Anacortes," Boden said. "These projects in Washington will not only improve habitat for fish, waterfowl and wildlife but will also positively impact water quality and quantity for people across the Pacific Northwest."

Park development in North Dakota

Most recently, MPC provided DU with a $40,000 grant to support a project at Clairmont Family Conservation Park in Bismarck, North Dakota. DU has partnered with Bismarck Parks and Recreation District to develop a 117-acre nature-based park, which includes wetland and prairie restoration areas. Previously, MPC's refinery in Mandan, North Dakota, provided DU with a $5,000 gift earmarked for the park.

Wetlands:

Areas that are periodically flooded and under normal conditions contain plants that require saturated soils for growth. Wetlands provide habitat for more than 900 species of plants and animals. They also provide a host of benefits to people, including flood prevention, water quality improvement, coastal storm buffering, groundwater replenishment and recreational opportunities. Source: DU
