Tulloch Ditching is Destroying Vital Wetlands in Virginia

Last summer a Federal Court of Appeals decision struck down something known as
the "Tulloch Rule" (pronounced "Tul-ic") thus allowing the drainage of vast
tracts of Virginia wetlands. In Southeastern Virginia alone, the Chesapeake
Bay Foundation (CBF) estimates that over 3,000 wetland acres have been drained
or are about to be drained and another 5,000 acres are under immediate threat.
Conservative statewide estimates suggest wetland losses may exceed 500,000
acres.
