Good Article in the SJ Merc from the NY Times

Says mitigation doesn't work

The panel, convened by the National Academy of Sciences, found that in many
cases the construction of substitute wetlands was often delayed or never
finished. It also found that when finished, projects often failed to meet
standards -- and even when the final result satisfied regulations, the
artificial wetlands might not duplicate the ecological functions of the
natural wetlands that were buried.

``Is 1.8 acres of poorly functioning wetland just as good as one acre of
well-functioning wetland?'' Zedler said. ``No. It's apples and oranges.''
