I've been doing amateur research on wetlands and came across this video:
https://youtu.be/OJzoe53sDpg?si=mjC9_...
Built a home near (right next to wetlands) for the scenery - were told by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority they couldn't build a pool.
I'm not sure where they're located, but imo to think it would be a good idea to build a pool there comes across as poor judgment to me

I skimmed - this is a good resource. I'll refer back to it. 4 stars.

This guy's experience with wetlands was interesting:

He mentions that wetland inventory map I found earlier - it's so important to do due diligence yourself. Even when contacting experts.

One farmer I know who lets us walk our dog on his property?
The property next time (several hundred acres) is being sold off lot by lot.
Some bordering his property did a survey, it went over his fenceline he's kept up (mowing, etc) for decades. He hired a lawyer, sent a letter to the man. The lawyer did research on the new owners-

If a couple or person is wanting to buy wetlands to build on, it's going to have a lot of extra red tape, potential set backs.
It's investors buying wetlands in prime real estate spots - they have the funding to push through red tape.

What this couple in Canada are doing is cool (the inspirational background music lame lol):

imo that's the way to go - lean into conservation if someone is wanting to live or buy wetlands.
the wetland permaculture food crops is something to look into, eventually

I like this guy's attitude:

Instead of planing projects like in ground swimming pools near wetlands, he's focused on rewilding, planting native plants. He got in touch with the state's conservation programs.
