I doubt that would translate into fewer closures at the Race and more likely was just in anticipation of the outcry about them killing crows so that they can say "hey, this will benefit everyone."

This is a friggin ploy for REVENUE pure and simple.The word TAKE in all of it is the magic word.They're going to say if the sustainable numbers can be attained by letting birds increase in other areas then they will reduce the closures where human conflict occurs.Exampe...the Seashore spent a bundle at Head of The Meadows parking lot a couple of years ago.Then a plover nest in the adjacent dune closed the lot due to the buffer distance requirements.No Money!Pick a beach.This is what they're after.

Local shops and hotels that make money on the fisherman will need to speak out on lost revenue. Wonder if Rich has had any feedback from his town...
