The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe currently regulates and protects the area’s wetland resources through its Wetlands Protection Plan and the Akwesasne Wetlands Conservation Act, and the Tribe’s Environment Division has a Wetlands Protection Program. These programs include policy, wetland mapping, public notice, permitting and enforcement elements, and help to protect the wetlands and water quality of Akwesasne from encroachment and development. Such activities help to create and enhance foraging and nesting habitat for a number of wetland birds.
