Audubon Statement on Presidential Veto of Congressional Attempt to Remove Water Protections

In response to President Joe Biden’s veto of a Congressional attempt to remove protections for America’s waterways, Audubon released the following statement:

“The Clean Water Act is essential in protecting our nation’s rivers, lakes, and streams for future generations,” said Caitlin Wall, Audubon’s Policy Director for Water Conservation. “As climate change, drought, and development squeeze our water resources further, we need to protect all remaining waterways—including wetlands and seasonal streams—from pollution and degradation. We fully support the President’s decision to enforce the Clean Water Act, which protects our country’s water quality.”
