I love the euphemism, "wetland". They're talking about a freakin' SWAMP, the ones our forefathers busted their humps to clear out to make the land useful and habitable. If you go along with their way of thinking, we should get rid of ALL of the things our ancestors developed. What's next? Indoor plumbing? Opposable thumbs? Walking upright?
Isn't the increased evaporation from this swamp a major loss of water for salmon?
