Econ Ed Link: There Is Something in the Water

Curated by ACT

The United States is losing 60,000 acres of wetlands each year. Is this good or bad? Does anyone really want to live in swamps, fens, bogs, and marshes? Or is it better economics to drain the wetlands for other purposes like agricultural development? In this lesson, students will learn about this monumental issue facing the United States while viewing it from an economic perspective.
