Join us for a timely panel discussion exploring how states, communities, and advocates are responding to the regulatory and environmental uncertainties left in the wake of the Sackett v. EPA decision. With a focus on wetlands and water protections across the Mississippi River watershed—from the bluffs of the Driftless Region to the bayous of the Delta—this conversation brings together regional experts to highlight innovative legal, policy, and collaborative approaches for safeguarding critical water resources. Hosted by the Hubbell Environmental Law Initiative, Iowa Hydroscience and Engineering, and Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law and Policy, this panel will feature diverse perspectives on the evolving landscape of water law and governance.
