SUMMARY:W3 Seminar: Unnavigable waters: SCOTUS scuttles WOTUS
DESCRIPTION:Unnavigable waters: SCOTUS scuttles WOTUS\nRoyal Gardner\, Prof
 essor of Law and Director of the Institute for Biodiversity Law and Policy
 \, Stetson University College of Law\nAbstract: In May 2023\, the U.S. Sup
 reme Court once again waded into the wetland wars. In Sackett v. U.S. Envi
 ronmental Protection Agency\, in a decision written by Justice Samuel Alit
 o\, the Court very narrowly interpreted the statutory term “waters of th
 e United States\,” also known as WOTUS. If a wetland is a WOTUS\, then i
 t is protected by the Clean Water Act. If it is not a WOTUS\, then the Cle
 an Water Act does not apply. Brenda Mallory\, the Chair of the White House
  Council on Environmental Quality\, called Sackett “one of the largest j
 udicial rollbacks of environmental protections in U.S. history.” The fir
 st thing that must be done\, she said\, is “to be honest\, clear\, vocal
 \, and visual about the impact of the Supreme Court’s ruling.” This pr
 esentation provides such an assessment.
