Areas with Special Wetlands Problems : 



At least two areas of our nation are donninated by Federal jurisdictional 

 wetlands: Alaska and south Louisiana. Congress must recognize the realities of these 

 areas and provide special rules that will allow continued human activity in these and 

 similar areas while encouraging conservation, restoration and enhancement of overall 

 wetlands functions and values. 



The members of the Coalition encourage the subcommittee, the full 

 committee and the Congress to seize the current opportunity to develop a wetlands 

 program that can achieve the national goal of "no overall net loss" of wetlands 

 functions and values while earning the support and cooperation of the regulated 

 community.
