"Plover gimmick backfires"

Doubtful. I'd bet the "500 Wellfleet residents" that volunteer and will never go there again are far outweighed by the locals who recognize the massive financial hit the birds have caused, not to mention the droves of tourists that smell that delicious smoke up to a mile down Rt. 6.

What really needs to happen is that fishermen should start becoming members and volunteering with the Audubon. Move up through the ranks and start changing the demographic there to one of reason. They can't be beat, so you might as well join them and sabotage the mentality from within.

Maybe the misses and I will have to swing down there to check it out this weekend.
