EPA is encouraging all states and tribes to create wetland program plans. These plans lay out the activities that each state or tribal program plans to undertake over the next few years in each of the four core elements of wetland programs: regulation, monitoring & assessment, restoration & protection, and water quality. These wetland program plans can be important sustainable finance tools. EPA is not requiring states and tribes to include budgets or other specific financial information in the plans. Nevertheless, elements of sustainable finance can be incorporated into the plans. For full blog post, click here. |

Highlights of EPA’s Sustainable Finance Training Workshop, Chelmsford, MA
Most state wetland programs are funded through a combination of state and federal sources. Securing sustained funding is always challenging, but even more so now when most states are cutting budgets in response to dramatically reduced tax revenue. Thus most state wetland programs are not growing and some are incurring cuts to staffing or support services.
