LIS boating to end?

wrote:

It's not out in the middle of the Sound. It's located smack dab in the
middle of the entrance to the harbor, where is has a huge impact. That
is only one of the proposed installations. They are proposing them in
harbors all along the coastline. Your house is next.

Well in that case it's time to rally the troops! Convince Jane Fonda that
oysters are sentient beings and should not be raised in cages, next thing you
know you wont be able to move in the Sound for all the tree huggers and PETA
protesters!

All kidding aside it shouldn't be to hard to get this sort of thing stopped on
environmental grounds, wasn't it in that area that a recently laid underwater
power cable was not allowed to be energized, (until the big black out last
summer any way)?

Up here, in Pinko Canada, you wouldn't get to the environmental hearing with
this, the Coast Guard is really touchy when anyone wants to do something that
interferes with navigation. The community on an island near mine wanted to build
a single lane bridge over a relatively minor channel that carried no commercial
traffic; the local sailing club said that they didn't want to go the other way around the
island, Coasties said, "You can build your bridge, but it has to have a clearance
of 180 feet"! I guess they figured somebody might sail the USS Constitution up
the channel.
