As Ghana continues to lose most of its wetlands, JoyNews is learning how other countries are developing settlements and using them as waste-cleaning tools for communities.
One such example is the Florida Gulf Coast University, built on about 400 acres of restored wetland.
One of its assets is a water school spearheading research into water quality and ecosystems to inform environmental policy in Florida.
