Action Alert: Send your letter to protect the Clean Water Act

The Importance of Headwater Streams A group of senators has begun work on legislation that would halt a draft rule that will restore Clean Water Act protections to some of the most important trout and salmon habitat in the country - small headwater streams. Please take a moment to tell your senator to oppose an attack against the Clean Water Act. For 30 years, the Clean Water Act has been a great tool for restoring polluted trout and salmon streams, improving fishing across the country. In the last decade this great law has been picked apart by a series of Supreme Court cases. Some of the most important trout and salmon habitat across the country is now at risk - headwater streams. These small streams are not only important for spawning fish, but they are the building blocks for watersheds, ensuring downstream rivers maintain the water quality they need to support trout and salmon. Whether you like fishing headwater streams, or larger downstream rivers, ensuring these streams are covered by the Clean Water Act means more and better fishing opportunities for you. Please set aside a few moments to ensure these waters are clearly protected by the Clean Water Act.

As an angler, I am writing to support the Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers draft rule on the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, and I strongly oppose legislative efforts to derail the proposal. Protecting wetlands and headwater streams means protecting important fish habitat, and protecting habitat means more fishing opportunities for America's anglers, who contribute $48 billion every year to the economy. America's sportsmen and women strongly support this rule, and urge to oppose legislative efforts to derail it. Tip: Cutting-and-pasting? Save as plain text first.
