\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Against the backdrop of climate change, population growth and large"=scale land acquisitions, wetlands emerge as production hotspots in East Africa. They are still largely unused and offer a high quality resource base and year"=round water availability, allowing for multiple harvests a year. As delicate ecosystems, however, wetlands also provide a range of valuable ecosystem services which are sensitive to disturbance. Due to increasing external pressures wetlands are prone to exploitation and degradation. Good environmental governance is therefore crucial in order to guarantee a sustainable utilisation of wetlands that minimises the adverse effects on both, environmental health and human well"=being. 







In"=depth ethnographic and interdisciplinary research has been carried out in Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda between 2013 and 2016, whereby a mix of qualitative and quantitative research methods has been applied. In these three East African countries wetlands have been exploited for agricultural production and other economic activities (for example the extraction of sand and clay, building materials, fuel, and brick production) to varying degrees, and the access to wetlands is increasingly contested. As first findings suggest, the combination of diverging interest among different user groups, weak institutions and rising economic demands are threatening these delicate ecosystems, and causing degradation. This paper will focus on the interconnection of intensifying wetland use and environmental governance at various scales, in order to explore the outcomes for different wetland user groups. It will contribute to the debate on wetland conservation by taking into account the perspectives of small"=scale farmers, pastoralists, fishermen, large"=scale investors and policy"=makers.
