It cost $2,000/acre - $90,000/acre with an average of $18,000/acre to restore saltwater wetlands in 1997 and $56,000/acre in 2014. I know that each project has different factors that affect the costs, but those do not explain the massive price jumps. The only thing that explains the massive price jumps is the same thing that explains why ever other government project takes too long and costs too much; government red tape and not caring about the costs.

They could except for the fact that the EPA which handles wetland restoration wastes money like a drunken sailor on shore leave and the fact that according to the GAO the federal government wasted $125billion in 2014. Given those facts there is not one objective or sane person that would say that the costs increases are just due to more difficult and expensive projects. Trump is 100% right to cut the EPA and force it to do more with less.
