I'd rather see Striped Bass #'s the way they were 40 years ago than beach access the way it was 40 years ago.
But will either happen? Not likely.

You can have all the striped bass in the world but if you don't have the shore/beach access to catch them your point is mute.


Jim,
Way to stand up for what you believe in: now write a letter to the MV paper telling them what transpired at the "dinner Party". I would have loved to be there sipping a martini and heard you put her in her place.

My reasoning behind wanting the beaches closed is for better research into how to handle the situation between wildlife, beachgoers and the inevitable wasting away of the cape by erosion.

There needs to be a common ground that can be reached between access and wildlife protection, and NEITHER side wants to give away ANYTHING.

Thats the core issue. The fact alone totally off topic that in MY lifetime we very well could run out of oil has me way down lately about how we're not only managing resources but how we manage the amazing areas that we're allowed access to. Anyone who's walked the Audubon sanctuary down on the cape will attest to just how amazingly beautiful that area is without the encroachment of people or vehicles.

The cape isn't there for us to do wtf ever we please with it. If we do that everyone's kids, and their kids won't have it to enjoy like we have. And that goes for fish, birds, deer, turkeys, worms, eels, sharks, etc.

Environment and Wildlife management as it is, is a total goddamn joke in this country, the people who run it only seem to see in black and white and don't find a common ground for both sides to begrudgingly accept.
