Wetlands and the Delineation of Federal Authority Under the Clean Water Act - by Brad Mapes-Martins

The Wisconsin Center for Wildlife hosts the CNR 2024 Spring Seminar Series titled “Landmark Environmental Policies: History, Impacts, and the Future.” This series includes six seminars focusing on environmental policies that have had a profound impact on the environment and the natural resources profession. This seminar features UW-Stevens Point Professor Brad Mapes-Martins, and his seminar “Wetlands and the Dilieation of Federal Authority Under the Clean Water Act.” Brad will be discussing how in the brief span of eight years, the regulatory jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act changed five times. During this same time, five cases dealing with the issue went before the Supreme Court. The instability exhibited around the protection of water at the federal level is indicative of broader political changes. The result is that water policy has served as the battle lines in a larger battle over how to interpret the Constitution. ​ Brad Mapes-Martin's doctoral work is political science, but his area of expertise is in environmental policy, emphasizing federal water law. As an undergraduate, he studied policy's role​ in causing and mitigating water issues in Olympia, Washington. In recent years, he shifted his focus to the district-level factors influencing Congressional water protection support.
