America’s Commitment to Clean Water Act:
Restoring America’s waters and wetlands while protecting property rights and agriculture
Photo by Chris Willis
As a coalition of America’s leading sportsmen and conservation
organizations representing millions of members, we urge Congress to
act quickly to restore Clean Water Act protections for wetlands, streams,
lakes, and headwaters that are vulnerable to pollution and destruction
under the Supreme Court’s decisions.
