SEWF's Executive Director, Christine Olsenius, has written an article, "Institutional Barriers To Wetland Protection" that is featured in the May-June 2010 edition of the National Wetlands Newsletter (published by the Environmental Law Institute).  The article examines the way in which a lack of coordination between land use planning, watershed planning, and natural resource protection at the county and city level is preventing better wetlands protection.  It offers strategies for capacity building at the local level and for helping decision makers understand the value of green infrastructure.
