  Florida possesses more wetlands than any other state except Alaska, yet since 1990 more than 84,000 acres have been lost to development, despite presidential pledges to protect them. This book explains how taxpayers who think they're paying for wetland protection have been stuck with a program that creates the illusion of environmental protection.
