The meeting went well last night, the staff was friendly and listened to every comment and questions from all 40 people that chose to come

although they didn't record the meeting there was someone taking notes what he wrote down I guess would be what he thought was important who knows.

A few of the issues that were brought up
Speeding on the refuge was a huge issue with about 10% and I have to agree

Sandy Point was another which after they explained the troubles and enforcement problems I can understand

Invasive Plants came up and people were both for keeping it and others wanted it gone.

Butterflies were brought up, I don't think I saw one last fall

Opening of closed paths to bird watchers and trails to the beach for fishing.

Plovers took a hit and there was a little bashing by one or two people
one fisherman and one townie (I'm not sure what he used the refuge for)

There were a couple of hunters duck I believe, and the refuge has banned dogs there and they want to be able to train them there

there was alot of fish talk and access talk to much to write down
I know from the meeting that fishing isn't going away but I am sure that ORV Access at some point will be taking away from us.

I'm sure I missed something
