It's crazy how we will spend billions on flood insurance payouts but can't seem to justify protecting the wetlands that would've stopped the flooding in the first place. $10.1 billion and counting. #WOTUS #SPCH145advocates www.circleofblue.org/2026/world/s...

I didn’t know that many SC towns are passing their own wetland ordinances since we lost federal protection after Sackett. Definitely good that communities are stepping up. #WOTUS #SPCH145advocates www.carolinawetlands.org/south-caroli...

South Carolina Communities Step Up for Wetlands

219,000 comments in two weeks and USFWS backed off gutting wetland protections in the Prairie Potholes. Half of North America's ducks come from there. Good to see a win for once. #WOTUS #SPCH145advocates www.outdoorlife.com/conservation...

Public Comment Periods Don’t Usually Matter Much to the Feds. Duck Hunters Made a Difference Anyway — for Now

An unusually short comment period on drainage practices in the Prairie Pothole Region rallied duck hunters and gave USFWS pause.

This number is crazy, under the new WOTUS rule, only 19% of mapped wetlands in the US would keep federal protection. Seems like our wetlands are getting gutted to me. #WOTUS #SPCH145advocates www.floods.org/news-views/p...

Major Rollback to Federal Wetlands Protections Proposed

Proposed rule would drastically narrow the definition of “Waters of the United States” — the cornerstone for determining which wetlands and waterways receive Clean Water Act protections.

I didn't realize this fight over isolated wetlands goes back to 2001. Decades later, we're still fighting the same battle. Something needs to change. #WOTUS #SPCH145advocates www.ducks.org/conservation...

EPA just recently sent a second WOTUS proposal to the White House on June 30th, restarting the fight over how much wetland still gets Clean Water Act protection. Feels like less and less wetland getting protected. #WOTUS #SPCH145advocates www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

EPA heads back to the drafting board on WOTUS rule

In an unusual move, EPA has drafted a second proposal defining waters covered by the Clean Water Act, months after unveiling a similar rule.

I've grown up duck hunting SC wetlands, now EPA's proposed WOTUS rule could reverse Clean Water Act protections for millions of acres of wetlands and miles of streams. No wetlands, no ducks. #WOTUS #SPCH145advocates
