Most of the time I am a tree hugger, or close to it. But on this issue I am a
libertarian. I mean, I watch six boats in a huge lagoon, wetlands stretchin
beyond for miles, filled with fish and sea birds and shellfish -- guys over
there on the beach with their rakes -- and an eight-foot tide twice a day, and
those boats are going to cause a problem? Where is the common sense? All those
boats probaly have holding tanks. How is the Lectrasan going to contribute to a
problem that just does not exist?

At this particular place, the park service bars people from the beach from June
to August because the birds are breeding. Hmmm. On Memorial Day, July 4 and
Labor Day the place is posted. You may not take shellfish because of the vast
numbers of boats that come in. Hmmm. Do you suppose that the local authorities
tacitly admit that not everyone is environmentally correct?

At this place up to about five years ago you could get bushels of oysters by
just picking them off the beach at low tide. They have disappeared at about the
same time lobsters disappeared from Long Island Sound. And this over a time
when park people made boaters ever more unwelcome. Many fewer boats these days
than ten years ago. But clams are still plentiful. Something done 'em in. But
somehow, I don't think it was sewage discharge from recreational boats. (It's
those 22-footers with a girl sticking her bottom out over the stern you have to
look out for anyway. Pretty picture.)
