Controversial U.S. Supreme Court decision threatens the country's inland wetlands with new development, study says

The article discusses a recent study highlighting the potential environmental impacts of a controversial U.S. Supreme Court decision that has redefined the scope of the Clean Water Act. The decision, which limits federal protections to wetlands directly connected to larger bodies of water, could lead to increased development in previously protected inland wetlands. According to the study, this ruling might result in the loss of significant ecological benefits provided by these wetlands, such as flood control, water purification, and habitat for wildlife. Environmentalists and scientists are concerned that this could exacerbate issues like water pollution and loss of biodiversity, as developers might now view these areas as viable for construction, potentially leading to irreversible damage to these ecosystems.
