Some areas defined as wetlands are far more valuable than others.

Wetlands that serve as coastal barriers to storm surges and other forms of storm damage, and specific wetlands that are particularly important habitat should get more protection than many of the less important areas that wetland protection regulation has effected. With better targeting of the protection you can get more real protection, at less financial and political cost.

Also I think that we probably should have a specific law for wetlands protection, rather then regulations where created under laws concerning navigable waterways.
