Comments on the clue
1.I had forgotten s = stokes (unit of kinetic viscosity) but it's in Chambers. I recognize cricketers Broad and Stokes, but not Paddy.
2.Nice idea
3.Nice idea, but clueing a plural as a charade of the singular and S is a little weak.
4.To spoils the reading. And clueing WETLAND as such lacks cryptic element.
