Plovers anyone?

Slip and Karl both have it - they want it to revert to nature and they don't care about us, the residents, or jobs. Remember 10 years ago, they shut down the entire NW logging industry because of an 'endangered' northern spotted owl that turned out to not be so endangered. As I type, they have shut off water to 1/2 of the California farmland, the breadbasket of the US, because of a minnow. Both of these acts have put hundreds of thousands of people out of work and destroyed (or are in the process of destroying) communities. We should be at home working on ways to better the environment and community and not hurting fish or scaring birds and seals. That's mean.

Keeping a few thousands of people like us who want to drive a beach? Compared to ruining the livelihood of the people in Washington state and California? No pun intended, but we are small fry.
