we are given

In A 4 year period, About 80,000 acres of coastal wetlands in United States are lost each year.

total time = 4 years

now, we can use formula

total change in wetlands = ( total area)/(total time)

now, we can plug values

total change in wetlands is

$=\frac{80000}{4} acre/year$

$=20000 acre/year$................Answer
