Starting out in 1999 as a volunteer group, Wetlands Watch met around a kitchen table to fight a wetlands permit. “We stuck around and expanded to advocate for better protection of wetlands statewide. In 2007, after meeting with scientists about the impacts of sea level rise, we began to concentrate on protecting wetlands from climate change impacts. One of the first groups in the country to work on that, our goal is to protect Virginia’s wetlands today, tomorrow, and forever.”
