Coastal dune ecosystem restoration is a nature-based solution that can help reduce the impact of coastal flooding and erosion, offering residents protection from storm surges. Learn more about what Coalition member @NWF is doing to protect residents before disasters strike:

Did you know the House is poised to pass a bill putting our drinking water and wildlife at risk of even more pesticides and toxic discharges?

🚨Tell your representative to vote NO on the PERMIT Act! 🚨

“There will be fewer places to fish or to hunt and the places that are left to fish and to hunt you will have to worry a little more about what you will be eating.” @NWF's Jim Murphy on efforts to remove pollution & destruction protections for our waters https://t.co/uCJz1vsMP7

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s draft rule narrowing the scope of the Clean Water Act will protect fewer streams and wetlands from pollution and destruction than at any point since the law’s passage in 1972.

Breaking: EPA & Army Corps plan to remove #CleanWaterAct safeguards from most wetlands & millions of stream miles across the country.

“This rule will mean more unsafe drinking water & more expensive water treatment costs for taxpayers,” @NWF's Jim Murphy

[NWF Water @NWFwater]

Now is the time to stand up for clean water—tell your Representatives to vote NO on the PERMIT Act.

[NWF Water @NWFwater]

Congress is considering a bill that abandons a host of key Clean Water Act safeguard that protects our waters from pollution and destruction:

[NWF Water @NWFwater]

The PERMIT Act will let largescale polluters off the hook for trashing our waters, leaving us to pick up the tab. If it becomes law, it will pollute our drinking water, compromise our health, put more communities at risk of floods, and ruin the places we swim or fish.

[NWF Water @NWFwater]

Judge cites restoration efforts: For decades, "every Florida governor, every Florida senator, & countless local & national political figures, including presidents, have publicly pledged their unequivocal support for the restoration, conservation, & protection of the Everglades."

[NWF Water @NWFwater]

Judge orders halt of further expansion of an immigration detention center built in the middle of America's #Everglades! Thanks to the enviro groups & the Miccosukee Tribe who led the charge to defend the "river of grass" against further development.

[NWF Water @NWFwater]

Congress plans to vote on the PERMIT Act—which would abandon #CleanWaterAct safeguards that help ensure we can trust what comes our of taps and protect fish and #wildlife habitat.

Urge your representative to vote NO on the PERMIT Act.

[Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure @TransportDems]

Today, the T&I Committee will hold a markup on a pro-pollution package of Republican bills that will make the nation’s water dirtier.

Stay tuned to follow along and see how @TransportDems are fighting to protect clean water and put people over polluters.

Trump’s EPA is set to further gut the Clean Water Act—putting up to 970,000 acres of Illinois wetlands at risk. These wetlands protect IL communities from flooding.

With no federal protections, and cuts to FEMA, Illinois must act now and pass the Wetlands Protection Act.

[WPSD Local 6 @WPSDLocal6]

Prairie Rivers Network warns of potential loss of wetlands in southern Illinois due to federal protection cuts. However, a state-level protection bill is being considered to mitigate these impacts. https://t.co/rW8bZANcWH

"Our wetlands, and the birds, animals, fish, insects and plants that call them home, are screaming for help."

[NWF Water @NWFwater]

Wetlands filter water pollution, buffer against coastal flooding, absorb carbon dioxide, and provide habitat for fish and #wildlife.
