Hey everyone
I'm writing a 800 words essay on Baltic Sea Region Farming, and I've finished the second paragraph, which is the first body paragraph. Can you please read it and tell me what you think? Suggestions and error reports are welcome!

The Baltic Sea drainage basin is four times the surface area of the sea itself, and half of it is forested. Finland and Sweden have most of the forests, especially in the northern and northeastern areas. Since the climate in northern and southern parts of the basin is different, the land types differ as well. For example wetlands are a valuable farm resource. Agriculture should not think of wetlands as unusable land, because they help with Flood Control and act as nutrient supplies for phosphorus and nitrogen, which are necessary for plants. They also provide essential habitat for a wide variety of species. The wetlands cover approximately 8 percent of the drainage basin and are most found in the northern regions. The majority are found in the Bothnian Bay drainage basin (41 percent). The Bothnian Sea, Gulf of Finland and Baltic Proper drainage basins each have between 16 and 17 percent of the total wetlands, while the remaining regions in the south contain fewer than 6 percent of the total wetlands.
