Wet lands are not waste…

Wet lands are not waste lands they are critical to not only wildlife but to the integrity of floodwater management ..
The reckless filling in of wetlands will simply add mitigation costs in the future…
We do not need more land for housing we need better use of existing land and infrastructure…responsible management does not mean giving in to speculator land owners or developers looking to profit from buying wetlands or near wetlands properties and pressuring government to change policy so they can realize gains on their speculations only to have future taxpayers on the hook for the effects..
This policy will unleash a wholesale attack on sensitive areas which protect biodiversity in these sensitive areas..
the science is clear wetlands are critical for our many species that call such areas home many of whom are at risk not to mention migrating species that rely on them . When these lands are developed for housing it disrupts the entire ecosystem. You cannot isolate a portion as a ditch or a pond after development in hopes of attaining balance it does not work!!!
This is just irresponsible pandering to developers and makes no sense…
