The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protects wetlands primarily through regulatory frameworks established under the Clean Water Act. This includes overseeing the permitting process for activities that may impact wetlands, such as construction or development, ensuring that any potential adverse effects are minimized. The EPA also collaborates with state and local governments to promote wetland conservation and restoration initiatives, providing guidance and funding for sustainable management practices. Additionally, the agency conducts research and monitors wetland health to inform policy and protect these critical ecosystems.
Conservation Commissions of cities and towns have the authority to enforce wetlands protection laws.
