Wetlands Refined?... Following a recent Court of Appeal Decision (Page v Greater Wellington Regional Council [2024] NZCA 51- link below) the definition of 'wetland' has been modified somewhat. 'Wetland' is defined in the RMA 1991 as 'includes permanently or intermittently wet areas, shallow water, and land water margins that support a natural ecosystem of plants AND animals that are adapted to wet conditions'. The decision determined the 'and' used in ....'plants AND animals'.... is indeed an 'and' rather than an 'or'. A wetland must then have both plants and animals to be a wetland. This is significant as prior to this, if there were either plants or animals the area could be classified as a wetland. Although it is still important to note that 'animals' includes fish, birds and invertebrates. Feel free to message me if you would like to discuss wetlands, this decision or anything else related to environmental law! https://lnkd.in/gQKT4Axi #urbanplanning #resourcemanagement #wetlands #freshwater #TompkinsWake #sustainability #lawyers #legaltips #business

Announcement: Minister Broke Law Over Emergency Order for Spotted Owl: Judge I am sharing an important legal development that aligns with my ongoing work on legal empowerment and regulatory frameworks. A federal court judge has ruled that Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault violated the Species at Risk Act by delaying an emergency order to protect the endangered spotted owl in British Columbia. This case highlights the critical need for timely and decisive action in environmental governance. In my recent article, "Beyond Band-Aids: Legal Empowerment as a Catalyst for Environmental Change," I emphasize the importance of enforceable regulations and the role of legal empowerment in achieving environmental justice. This case is a practical example of how delays and bureaucratic processes undermine statutory obligations designed to protect vulnerable species and ecosystems. Justice Yvan Roy's decision underscores that prompt action is legally required once an imminent threat to a species is identified. The judge's assertion that "the machinery of government cannot undermine the clear statutory obligations made to the minister resonates with my advocacy for regulatory integrity and accountability. As always, I encourage my students to engage with such developments critically, understand the legal implications, and consider diverse perspectives. The study of regulation thrives on diverse views, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the complexities. Stay engaged and continue to explore, question, and challenge! https://lnkd.in/ebSrjd2v #AlgonquinCollege #ThomasConway #OntarioColleges #EnvironmentalJustice #LegalEmpowerment #RegulatoryAffairs #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture #EnvironmentalPolicy #PublicParticipation #CommunityEmpowerment #Transparency #Accountability #EnvironmentalGovernance https://lnkd.in/euwmu2Eh

Get in the mood for #WorldWetlandsDay at our Conservation and Land Use Webinar on Thursday, February 1! Krista Spohr from NYS Department of Environmental Conservation will provide an overview of DEC's current freshwater wetlands regulations and how they are enforced, and explain forthcoming regulatory changes and their effective dates. Register here: https://lnkd.in/dV-Hz3KG. In 2022, Governor Kathy Hochul signed into law historic revisions to New York's Freshwater Wetlands Act. Currently, DEC's jurisdiction is limited to wetlands that are equal to or greater than 12.4 acres (and certain wetlands of unusual local importance) and identified on the State Freshwater Wetlands Map. The new legislation will eliminate the map requirement beginning in 2025 and in 2028, DEC's jurisdiction will expand to wetlands as small as 7.4 acres. The reforms will allow DEC to protect over one million acres of critically important freshwater wetlands that are currently unmapped and thousands of additional acres of smaller wetlands. Earlier this month, DEC published an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking, inviting public comment on potential updates to freshwater wetlands protection and classification regulations. The DEC is looking for answers to specific questions as well as general input and suggestions which may inform the potential revisions, including: - criteria for “wetlands of unusual importance” including significant flooding, rare animals, vernal pools, and local and regional significance - criteria for extension of regulated adjacent areas - procedures for jurisdictional determination. To view the draft proposed regulatory updates, visit DEC's Freshwater Wetlands Program webpage: https://lnkd.in/dXZKmg5r. Comments are due February 19, 2024.

Well, it looks like the NT Government will be joining the list of examples in my research on why we need to 'Reimagine the role and purpose of Environmental Law'. A classic case of disregarding science, wilful ignorance, bullying diversity, blatant conflicts of interest and a broken governance system that's equally wilful in its utter uselessness. #environmentallaw #ecocide Environment Centre NT Jojo Mehta Australian Earth Laws Alliance

Registration is Open for the 2024 Martz Symposium on Public Lands! Join Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment and Colorado Environmental Law Journal: The Future of Public Lands – People, Place, and Power Fri, Oct 4 and Sat, Oct 5 In person or virtual University of Colorado Law School Public lands across the United States provide us with clean water, energy and food production, world-class recreational opportunities, wildlife habitat, and many other important values. Indigenous peoples have deep ties to the land informed by their traditional ecological knowledge. And public lands drive economic opportunities and job creation for rural communities. For all these reasons, the American public broadly supports the protection and sustainable use of public lands, yet they are facing unprecedented threats from resource degradation, climate change, the demands of multiple uses, and challenges in agency funding levels. The 2024 Martz Symposium will take a deep dive into these rapid changes that are unfolding in real time and how they impact our relationship to the land. The Conference will consider the latest developments and proposed reforms to the laws and policies that govern our management of public lands, including a look at those laws that are standing in the way of progress and others that have helped to pave the way for innovation. And the Conference will convene a diverse and inclusive set of stakeholders, policymakers, academics, and advocates to share ideas on how best we can steward and care for America’s public lands for current and future generations.
