Charney speaks to BDN about new fees for developing on wetlands
Noah Charney, assistant professor in the University of Maine Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Conservation Biology, spoke to the Bangor Daily News for an article about the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposing new rules for smaller construction projects disrupting more than 5,000 square feet of wetland areas in Maine to require fees. “Wetland loss is an important issue, and we’ve seen a 50 percent loss of wetlands across the world. Many species depend on them from wildlife to plants,” Charney said.
