World Wetlands Day

Keep Our Clean Water Progress Moving!

our wetlands and streams are at risk. the president can do something about that.
Today, nearly 20 million acres of wetlands are at risk. Because they lack protection under the Clean Water Act, these vital parts of our water infrastructure are vulnerable to destruction by unaccountable polluters. The President has proposed to fix this problem and protect ALL of our wetlands. We support him and we need you to join us. Here's why:

  • Wetlands protect us from floods – one acre of wetlands can hold 1 million gallons of floodwaters
  • They provide critical habitat for fish and wildlife
  • Wetlands provide opportunities for outdoor recreation and support local economies

The solution is simple: update the Clean Water Act to cover ALL wetlands. The President and the EPA have a plan to do that. We just need to make sure they know how much you support protections for our wetlands.

Help us continue our clean water progress and contact the President today!
