2.2: Wetlands Protection

Protect the Nation’s wetlands to prevent degradation from future development.

Other Information:

The focus of this objective is environmental protection. Prevention and protection are preferable to mitigation for environmental losses. Under Section 404 of the Clear Water Act the Corps has a Regulatory Program to protect wetlands threatened by private development by encouraging developers to avoid losses. When losses occur, developers mitigate for the losses.
