Geographically Isolated Wetland Deregulation and the Impacts of its Destruction on the United States
Carla Peralta's research reveals how destroying isolated wetlands — 29% of all U.S. wetlands — strips away flood control, microclimate cooling, and pollution filtration. Deregulation under the Clean Water Act rollback now lets pesticides and fertilizers overwhelm these ecosystems, triggering algal dead zones and worsening urban flooding.

Overfishing: The worst and best fish you can eat
Seafood Watch scientist Ryan Bigelow breaks down which fish are safe to eat — and which, like bluefin tuna and eel, are critically endangered. Bottom trawling, longline bycatch, and carnivorous fish farms reveal why "sustainable seafood" demands far more than a label.
