But I want to live right on the water

| More
Last night I was watching a program on the Discovery Channel (I looked for a link to it on their site but boy is that site obnoxious) about how the levees along the Missisippi are destroying the wetlands. The wetlands that in turn absorb some of the energy from storms. Not only do we destroy the wetlands but by doing so storms get stronger. All because some fool wants water front property.

    We have in Colombia many examples at a different scale of consequences of the destruction of wetlands and mangroves. Root causes of such destruction shall be analyzed under a simplistic model of building levees around areas where ineffective planning did not avoid the colonization of such ecosystems.
