“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 outdoorlife.com/conservation/e…

EPA Rule Further Slashes #CleanWaterAct Protections 🌊 "Over time, the impacts to #water quality, #wildlife, and our way of life will be significant. The crisis facing aquatic wildlife will deepen” -Jim Murphy, NWF senior director of legal advocacy. 📲 ow.ly/wHEq50XtGe2

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. Read the press release 📲: ow.ly/wHEq50XtGe2

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 nytimes.com/2025/11/17/cli….

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! 🚨

Now is the time to stand up for clean water—tell your Representatives to vote NO on the PERMIT Act. support.nwfactionfund.org/page/85666/act…

Congress is considering a bill that abandons a host of key Clean Water Act safeguard that protects our waters from pollution and destruction: blog.nwf.org/2025/09/permit…

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.

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."

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. npr.org/2025/08/22/nx-…

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. support.nwfactionfund.org/page/85666/act…

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.

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. wpsdlocal6.com/news/prairie-r…

"Our wetlands, and the birds, animals, fish, insects and plants that call them home, are screaming for help." Learn more about recent moves by the federal government that threaten to destroy wetlands in South Dakota and across the country: southdakotasearchlight.com/2025/03/18/tru…

Wetlands filter water pollution, buffer against coastal flooding, absorb carbon dioxide, and provide habitat for fish and #wildlife. Learn more from @BayouCityWK about some large federal projects that could damage local wetlands and communities: bayoucitywaterkeeper.org/manufactured-e…

"We can invest in infrastructure & protect the environment at the same time, ensuring that America builds while also making sure America breaths #cleanair & drinks #cleanwater." Thank you @RepRickLarsen for standing up for strong #cleanwater safeguards for communities & wildlife
