While I think in some cases wetlands regulation has gone to far, Why? in the New Oreleans area the loss of wetlands has made the city far more vulnerable and the loss continues. Most wetland areas in this country have been greatly diminished and most are threatened with extinction.

re: I think if we are going to build New Orleans too much attention is paid to making huge levees and walls and not enough to trying to restore some of the natural protections that New Orleans has been losing. While I think in some cases wetlands regulation has gone to far, in the New Oreleans area the loss of wetlands has made the city far more vulnerable and the loss continues. We should remove some of the interference with natural processes that helped create protection for NO not just build large walls. I agree, long term. The thing is, in a short 7 months hurricane season resumes... and the levies are the first line of defense.
