humans walking or driving on or near the wrack line kill off the food source for even the most minute beach creatures.
(this will be how they sell it)
close the beaches to humans to save the sand fleas...
you think I'm kidding????
NOT!... it's coming soon to a beach near you, get ready, they know they can't use the plover forever, and they have poured thousands of $ and man hours studying the wrack line.....

Two studies are underway: The University of Rhode Island will examine whether the off-road vehicles harm the wrack line, the rows of dead seaweed that are home to insects and other critters that birds eat, and the University of Vermont will examine what beachgoers and off-road vehicle operators want from their beach access.
I think we need to pressure the state to open a "wrack line" ladder, kinda like a fish ladder used to get herring over the dams. Instead the "wrack ladder", or perhaps "wrack modulator", will elevate the "wrack line" as high tide approaches to where it can only be wetted out by the wave action instead of being constantly destroyed and rebuilt. Obviously, mother nature is also wracking havoc on the wrack line and must be dealt with as well.
Does anyone else have a potential proposal to save the wrack line? A sign & slogan campaing?
"Dogs and ORV's - Keep Of The Wrack" or
"Save the SandFleas, don't tread on wrack", or for Jersey beaches -
"What the Wrack you lookin' at"
This is just getting rediculous.
