"A study published in Nature Water indicates that wetland destruction has increased flood insurance claims by $10 billion over 40 years. The research highlights the economic impact of the US Supreme Court's 2023 Sackett vs. EPA ruling, which reduced wetland protections. Wetland loss disproportionately affects low-income communities and communities of color."
Author: Jeff Goodell
