Local interest in potential development of this area is quite high. Farmers immediately adjacent to the area are seeking flood protection while farmers residing upstream of the Rat River Swamp (represented primarily by SPADA) have proposed a re-routing of Rat River flood waters and storage in the Rat River Swamp to alleviate their flooding problems. Local wildlife groups (e.g. St. Malo Wildlife Association) have attempted to have this area set aside for wildlife
