CIC was just the start for EWA, which now works on 60 hazardous waste sites throughout central New Jersey. Many of these sites impact human health and the environment, some are examples of environmental justice and others have potential as Brownfields-to-Greenfields projects. EWA still works on wildlife conservation land preservation issues. In 2000, we purchased the Triple C Ranch and Nature Center, the last remaining farm in Edison, located in the heart of the Dismal Swamp Conservation Area. This outdoor classroom and nature preserve offers exciting environmental education programs for children and community groups.

    Extractions: WETLANDS: CRADLE OF SPECIES DIVERSITY Wetlands marshy areas of land where the soil is saturated with water are crucial incubators of species diversity, as important as tropical rain forests and coral reefs. They exist on all continents, save Antarctica, and include salty coastal flats, such as estuaries, and inland systems. Scientists classify wetlands into bogs, swamps, marshes, and other types, depending on geography, soil, and plant life. Wetlands help filter pollutants and soil runoff from upstream sources, which helps keep rivers, bays, and oceans downstream clean. In this way, healthy wetlands help mitigate the negative effects that human and farm waste, and some byproducts of industrial pollution, have on our Nation's water. Wetlands help control inland flooding and forestall wave erosion along shorelines; they diminish drought damage. Coastal wetlands protect spawning and feeding grounds for valuable fish and shellfish. Mink, otter, and other mammal species thrive in North American wetlands, as do myriad plants and insects, amphibians, and reptiles. They are vital nesting grounds for birds. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), wetlands are essential to the survival of about a third of the endangered animal and plant species in the United States, and about half of these species make use of wetlands at some point in their life.

Bush ( Bush's letter to the CWRP ), and formalized in 1992 with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by nine sub-cabinet level agency representatives. These representatives committed their agencies to work together and integrate their efforts with state, local and nongovernmental activities.

    Extractions: Program Search Wetlands About Wetlands Wetland Science Locating Wetlands From the sedge meadows of southern Wisconsin to the spruce bogs in the north, wetlands cover a wide array of landscapes. They share in common the ability to support aquatic or "water loving" plants, and provide habitat for more species of plants and animals than any other type of landscape in Wisconsin. A shallow water marsh near Solon Springs. Habitat is not their only functional value . Wetlands can also store water to prevent flooding, purify water, protect lake and stream shores from eroding and provide recreational opportunities for wildlife watchers, anglers, hunters, and boaters. But Wisconsin only has about half of the 10 million acres that were present in 1848 due to farm drainage and filling for development and roads. Laws have slowed their loss, but wetlands continue to be destroyed and degraded. Invasive plants , like purple loosestrife and reed canary grass, are crowding out native plants and harming habitat. Overuse of groundwater and increasing stormwater from development starves or drowns wetlands plants.

    Extractions: Table of Contents Delta Wetlands is an innovative solution to California’s water supply challenge – a water storage project situated strategically in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta that will enable water managers to capture surplus water flows during wet months for use during dry periods. After more than 15 years of study and planning, the Delta Wetlands project has proven its technical and environmental merit and has emerged as the most viable opportunity for storing more water in the state in this decade. Project Overview Summary of California’s water situation and pending shortfalls, and outlines how Delta Wetlands can help bridge the gap between our current water supply and the increasing demands here in the state. Details of the environmental, technical and economic studies that have made this project a reality. Latest News Recent press releases on the project and what opinion leaders and water managers are saying about the Delta Wetlands Project. Tracking of recent events and next steps required for the project’s construction and implementation. Technical Information Detailed maps and graphics of the project, permits and environmental documentation obtained through exhaustive review process.

    Extractions: When most people think of wetlands, they think of swampy, marshy areas complete with ducks and cattails. While those areas are indeed wetlands, many other wetlands look quite different and may even have no surface water for all or part of the year. Some wetlands support trees and shrubs; some are farmed. Wetlands were once considered wasted space, a hindrance to urban development and crop production. In Minnesota, an estimated 11 million acres of wetlands have been drained or filled over the last hundred years, leaving about 10 million acres. While this represents a 50 percent loss statewide, some areas of Minnesota have lost more than 90 percent of their original wetlands.
