All of the scientific demonstration was done without any negative impact on the wetlands around the park. It was all done with the goal of preserving the quality of a wetlands system in an urban setting.

This affects our friends in the states of Alabama, Louisiana and Texas. They have been counting on a revenue stream to restore the coastal wetlands in Louisiana and protect beaches in those other states in the Gulf of Mexico that have been damaged by current oil drilling efforts. There's nothing in the bill to restore coastal areas in those states.
Frank Jackalone
Along with defining boundaries and public access, we need to be clear about the allowable uses and to begin an inventory of the landscape, including valuable wetlands, the wildlife and vegetation.
Tom Cameron
He just wants to make sure the wetlands are as protected as they can be.
Joann Carrin
In pre-settlement times it had more wetlands than any part of the state. It was just a huge swamp at one time.
Dave Graber
It adds a level of protection to the higher quality wetlands.
Peter Britz
We will have to go through the Inland Wetlands Commission and Planning & Zoning before the building can start. We've kind of prepared for a long wait, but the end result will be worth it.
Doloris Giannini
Wetlands store a huge amount of water. They're lower, so the water goes there instead of your house.
Patrick Joyce
Only about one percent of the historic habitat exists. Half of the (agricultural lands) have subsided so much that we can't restore them to wetlands -- if you flooded them, you'd just have deep water. But a 10 percent restoration is possible -- and that would be exponentially better than the situation we have now.
Robin Grossinger
Nature is pretty good about self-recovery, but a lot depends on what man does to hinder or assist in that recovery. The nice thing about wetlands is that they can cleanse and filter water as it moves through, but too much contamination can overwhelm this natural filtering system and destroy it.
Thomas Miller
We're talking about a smaller city, but a safer and hopefully more sustainable one, ... The alternative is to continue as we are, losing 60 acres (of wetlands) a day. By 2090, New Orleans would be exposed to the open sea, with no protection at all.
John Rennie
We're convinced it's not a human-induced condition but a natural condition brought on by wetlands and ground water. We'll recommend a re-classification of that stretch of the river so that it won't be encroached upon by human activity. It could not support a wastewater treatment plant, for example.
Jim Hodgson
That's not unusual for a project this size. You have wetlands being impacted. The process is designed [in such a way that] we continue to go back and forth with information until the district has enough information to make a decision on a permit.
Michael Molligan
All around us, we see plants that have endured chronic ozone exposure with no apparent adverse symptoms except premature aging and reduced reproduction, ... Could this relate to the human experience? That's what we need to find out. But, in the meantime, it's important for us to determine how ozone exposure affects our forests, our wetlands, our crops, and even our backyards.
William Manning
Wetlands laws, both state and local, protect the lands from flooding, from pollution and they protect the wildlife and the drinking water supply. With the increased priority Andover citizens have for natural areas and open space, I'd be surprised if they vote to repeal (the bylaw).
Robert Douglas
We think it's an important work showing some of the loopholes in the current wetlands law.
Lance Ness
We are looking at some invasive cattail in the wetlands and what we'll want to do is map those.
Michael Mitchell
We're used to looking at the large visible effects that humans have on wildlife such as logging or draining wetlands. Subtle impacts [from recreation] may be just as consequential.
Robert Steidl
We thought things were happening on the landscape that we don't know about. We said, 'Let's get a bunch of people out on the landscape to tell us about wetlands.' Those wetlands stories bore out under investigation.
Janette Brimmer
When we first came down here, we had wetlands in front of us. Now you can just walk up and across the sand. It's just filled up.
Richard Owen
Allowing the large fraction of wetlands in New Orleans to disappear is an extremely expensive thing.
Richard Carson
Hopefully the court is taking this case to definitively answer the question of federal jurisdiction over wetlands. About 100 million acres could be affected by the decision. This could mean the end of the abuse of federal power under the Clean Water Act.
M. Reed Hopper
Ray's generosity is helping upgrade the lake. We wish we had more neighbors like him. He's putting plant growth where it belongs -- in the wetlands. A guy who is so sensitive about nature is rare.
Jim Wallace
The natural pattern of flooding supplies nutrients and sediment to wetlands areas, keeping them as kind of a buffer and a natural absorber when a really big storm hits.
John Rennie
We've been wasting the river, particularly the sediment, directing it offshore. The Corps of Engineers from the New Orleans District Office dredges more river sediment than any other district in the United States. ... The problem is, we don't put it [sediments] where it's needed. We should pipe it across the landscape, putting it into regions where we can build wetlands.
Robert Twilley
Basically there will be no funding for the wetlands advisory program forthcoming. We are moving to restructure our advisory program, and anticipate that the changes will begin next month with a cessation of the site visits and reports.
Carl Hershner
They've already built up part of the project. And that has been done illegally, the courts have ruled. So now you should have to go back and look at - how do you do the environmental review in the light that there's been development that may have disturbed archaeological resources or disturbed wetlands.
Kevin Roe
Unauthorized filling of wetlands and damming of open waters can have serious environmental consequences. The Santa Clara River is one of the last free-flowing rivers in Southern California. The EPA's action today underscores our commitment to protecting this very important water resource and to work closely with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other resource agencies to achieve this goal.
Alexis Strauss
I can't do anything about the water at the No. 3 tee, ... It's because the water level at the creek is higher than the groundwater and you can't drain wetlands.
William Mitchell
We owe it to future generations to ensure that toxic chemicals do not destroy the frog or the wetlands it depends on. These pesticide-application buffer zones are reasonable and effective protection.
Brent Plater
I'm disappointed that they knew they were building on wetlands and they destroyed them.
John Perry
There are other factors, as well, such as wetlands and other environmental constraints.
Helene Mcquade
There's this myth of the land being all wetlands. Everyone thinks it's going to be knee-deep in water.
Bayard Dominick
Not only populated with businesses, but well protected wetlands and the environmental aspect of it too.
James Rose
These barrier islands and wetlands are our first line of defense from hurricanes. This needs to be treated as an emergency. We need everyone to recognize that restoration efforts must begin immediately.
Sidney Coffee
We are committed to allowing the floodplains, wetlands and streams to stay in their natural state.
Errol Housmans
Congress has failed to act to shore up wetlands protections after the Supreme Court decision. And as bad as the Supreme Court decision was, the Army Corps has made it worse by going further than the opinion required.
Eric Schaeffer
The wetlands are important because they are the filtration between the marine environment and the terrestrial environment. By having a little filtration there, we protect the ocean from the impacts of man.
Elizabeth Heise
So, monitoring work will be carried out along their moving channels and in their habitats in the north, mainly large-area wetlands.
Zhuo Rongsheng
Local reservoirs and wetlands are both suitable for migratory birds. The bordering sea and abundant ponds within the province have increased the possibility of contact of local birds with the migratory birds.
