====>Click to View "The Supreme Court Wetlands Decision: What it Means for the South"
(An SELC Online Seminar) Running Time: 37 min. 16 sec.
A recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court came dangerously close to
stripping federal protection from millions of acres of wetlands across
the country. While that bullet has been dodged - for now - a split
decision by the High Court has left the fate of our wetlands uncertain.
Listen in as Derb Carter, director of SELC's NC/SC office and head of
our wetlands program, takes an in-depth look at the Court's decision and
its implications for the future of wetlands protection in the South.
