The option that would do the LEAST to help protect the existing wetlands in the proposed construction site is:
allowing the construction to continue as requested by the builder, but talking about expanding other wetlands in the future.
This option does not actively protect the existing wetlands; it merely allows for their destruction while suggesting potential future expansion elsewhere, which may not be feasible or effective in preserving ecological integrity in the immediate area.
