We're over our heads in vernal pools.

It's only in the last few years that we've really been looking at vernal pools. It's becoming much more of a front-burner issue.

The window of opportunity is small.

You go ahead. I'd rather not be shot out of a tube into a pool filled with a bunch of nine-year-olds' urine.
