Yep... want to fill in a mud-puddle in your back yard? Good luck. They call that "wetlands".LOL... when it comes to corporations, endangered species means nothing when it comes to development of land.
You and I, another story.
In the last twenty years I've seen it first hand right here in central FL, from turtles to wetlands... all it takes is money and dump trucks my friend.
Want to bulldoze and fill in 500 acres of swamp for a mall? NO PROBLEMO!
