John Kostyack of the National Wildlife Federation said the consultations were a cornerstone of the law. "Allowing federal agencies to forgo this process would put America's treasured plants, fish and wildlife at risk."

This comment period is suspiciously short, and it lacks a direct email address where wildlife advocates can send input. This page walks you through just how to submit an official comment on regulations.gov.

Seriously, brewerhaus and todd70556? You're going to put a human life up against an "acre of swamp?" Somebody skipped too many enviro science classes. Restoring the Everglades is about increasing and improving water supplies and flows...for HUMANS, and maintaining flood protection...for HUMANS.

"With no change the region soon will experience frequent water shortages. There will be continued degradation of the Everglades, coastal estuaries, fisheries and other natural resources. Flooding will become more frequent. Implementation of the [Restoration] Plan will result in the recovery of healthy, sustainable ecosystems in south Florida. The Plan will lead to a stronger economy and a much-improved environment for people, animals and plants that depend on the natural system for their survival. The Plan will redirect how water is stored in south Florida so that excess water is not lost to the ocean, and instead can be used to support the ecosystem as well as urban and agricultural needs. Projections of future water demands without the Plan indicate serious levels of water supply cutbacks and significant impacts to natural areas. Under the Plan, new storage facilities will be built throughout the region to ensure a more reliable water source for the natural, urban and agricultural areas. The ability to sustain the region's natural resources, economy, and quality of life depends, to a great extent, on the success of the efforts to enhance, protect and better manage the region's water resources."
