More Illegal Activity -- Filling in Wetlands

[florida girl]

Just have to get this off my chest (woe to us who love tropical medicine)

My father and his family contracted Malaria when he was a child and almost died. They lived on JD Miller Road.

This really sucks, no West Nile either!

Saw an old friend and native to South Walton last year who had contracted West Nile in South Walton.

I think he is trying to get the point through that we do not have to worry about these diseases in the present and probably in the future provided we don't screw up more.

Not actually accurate, in fact there are new ones currently, that weren't even thought of in the past, ie Aid's

I am still missing your point here. I asked you to help me out and explain your position. I make no claims on being an expert. I sell Real Estate. I bring in experts when I need a wetland determination. Wetland determinations are made by soil samples and visual foliage by trained experts in that area. I surely do not call the mosquito guy.

Many of the Wetlands determinations are governed by plants that have recently been added to the list. Palmetto, Dollar weed, etc., that at one time were not considered to be in a wetland. Wetlands were considered more a saltmarsh, with tidal activity usually twice daily. Breeding areas for game fish, among other things. Much effort was taken to make sure that the water did not stagnate, but was able to wash through. Fallen debree would clog it up.
