I do not agree with the proposed changes to the definition of Natural Wetland, in particular Part c. Areas that were once wetlands but have since been heavily modified should revert to their original character, so that the current reduction in already scarce wetlands is reversed. Such modified areas will help with important climate change goals and biodiversity goals.
I agree with all the proposals under section 3.
I disagree with all proposals in section 4. I see no reason why the current provisions protecting already endangered wetlands should be diluted.
GENERAL COMMENT
Our volunteer restoration group is dedicated to defending and restoring the indigenous diversity of a rare dune wetland such as once was a dominant feature of the landscape and now barely exists. We do not understand why the work we do is not fully supported due to proposals such as are stated in section 4.
Surely every effort must be made to protect what remains, and to support restoration to what was once there as far as possible. We are doing our part, will central government do its part?
