42. NPCA | Vanishing Wetlands The majority of our nation s wetlands—90 percent, to be exact—are what s referred to as freshwater marshes. They purify our drinking water, reduce flooding, http://www.npca.org/marine_and_coastal/wetlands/

Beaches Coral Reefs Marine Wildlife Wetlands ... Wildlife Protection SIGN UP FOR NEWS + ALERTS RSS Feeds Home Marine and Coastal Wetlands Vanishing Wetlands T According to the U.S. Fish Over the past 30 years, agricultural development has been responsible for close to 90 percent of our lost wetlands. Historically, wetlands environment has been perceived as a barrier to commercial and residential expansion. The scenario goes something like this: Developers move in, wetlands lose out. Throw in a steadily increasing dose of pollution and you've got yourself an already-unstable environment readying itself for life support. And things look to worsen before they take an upswing for the better. Consider this example: Since 1998, commercial developers have relied upon a loophole in the landmark Clean Water Act allowing them to disregard the need to obtain permits and destroy more than 30,000 acres of wetlands. Make a Difference Conserve water. Turn the water off when scrubbing dishes or brushing your teeth, take shorter showers, and water your lawn in the early morning or late evening. Contact conservation groups in your area so that you may better familiarize yourself with local concerns.

The Ohio Wetlands Foundation Story OHIO WETLANDS FOUNDATION 1220 STONE RUN COURT LANCASTER, OH 43130 The Ohio Wetlands Foundation, a non-profit (501(c)(3)) organization, was formed in 1992 in response to the regulated community's need to have a high quality offsite wetlands mitigation alternative. The mission of the Ohio Wetlands Foundation is to provide the highest quality offsite wetlands mitigation alternatives in Ohio by means of restoring, enhancing and protecting wetlands. The funds received by the Foundation for mitigation purposes are used for the acquisition of property; for the design, construction and maintenance of wetlands; for the construction of trails and interpretive signage at its sites; for the education of the public regarding wetlands functions; and the funding of research on wetlands. The Foundation's development of compensatory wetland mitigation credits follows the guidelines developed by a federal interagency task force and published in the federal register in 1995 by the Army Corps of Engineers and the US Environmental Protection Agency. Any entity wishing to use off-site compensatory mitigation must follow the rules and laws governing wetland impacts and must obtain a permit from the Army Corp of Engineers and/or the Ohio EPA.
