Congressmen Doug LaMalfa and Mike Thompson have introduced the Pacific Flyway Habitat Enhancement Act, a bill aimed at addressing wetland habitat concerns. The proposed legislation would allow the Secretary of Agriculture to enroll more agricultural lands in the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, provided it is necessary for wetland habitat issues. It also encourages farmers to manage their croplands to support species dependent on wetlands by allowing seasonal flooding.
