BREAKING: In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court severely weakened the Clean Water Act in Sackett v. EPA. This is a catastrophic loss for water protections across the country and a win for big polluters, putting our communities, public health, and local ecosystems in danger.

Asian clams are an invasive mollusk that can be found in our freshwater habitats and have a relatively thick shell compared to other bivalves. In areas with high populations of the species, these clams outcompete native freshwater mussels for food and space. #dewetlands

Everyone lives in a watershed, and when Pennsylvanians partner to care for our watersheds, we improve the environment right in our own back yards.

Pickerel frogs are found throughout PA in marshes, streams and springs. They release an irritating substance that is often toxic to would-be predators. You can tell them from other spotted frogs by their rows of squarish spots. Learn more➡️ bit.ly/3oZqMh7. #AmphibianWeek

Sometimes it's hard to be a serious and professional science agency when amphibians like the northern red salamander exist. Our first caption was, "LOOK AT THIS PERFECT SMOL NUGGET! HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING MORE PERFECT IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE?! LOOK AT THEM DO THEIR PUSHY UPPIES!

Happy #WildlifeWednesday of #AmphibianWeek! Why amphibians? They're sensitive to environmental stressors, making them a good indicator species. Many are also at risk for extinction. Enjoy these pics of a few from around the #DelawareRiver Basin. More info: parcplace.org/education/amph…

While many are familiar with the larger species of the catfish family, Madtoms are very small and are rarely seen. Growing up to 3 inches in length, these vertebrates can easily hide under logs or swim through rocks in freshwater wetlands and habitats. #dewetlands

Wait for it! Cool demo of the fish lifts @ConowingoDam. They separate out the American Shad & River Herring to release them upstream. Invasive fish species are removed and donated to food banks. Everyone else takes a water slide back down into the SusQ River!🐟🛝 @ichthyoAaron

DYK that Pennsylvania includes two of the largest tributaries for the #DelawareRiver? It's true! The #LehighRiver and #SchuylkillRiver are precious resources that provide water for drinking, farming, and recreating. That's why we're celebrating them for #PACleanWaterWeek.

Happy #AmericanWetlandsMonth! Wetlands, next to a rainforest, are one of the most diverse and productive habitats on the planet. And here in the Chesapeake, they reduce pollution, limit flooding, harbor wildlife and make our parks all the more beautiful. chesapeakebay.net/issues/wha…

Wetlands

Wetlands are critical in supporting the healthy waters and diverse wildlife of the region. But development, invasive species and sea level rise threaten these important areas.
