Editor: I can't help but comment on the shoreline project, labeled as "rehabilitation," of which I'm unclear as to who or what is being rehabilitated.
I've enjoyed walks with my dog down on the mud flats and happened to be there last week with all the work on this project.
As I walked past the piles of logs ready for pick up, we made our way down toward the beach where I saw plastic containers, Styrofoam boat buoys, coffee cups, water bottles and more littering the waterfront.
So I'm somewhat confused with the focus of this project: Are they removing the natural habitat for wildlife so they can find a new home in a plastic cup? Oh, wait, how silly of me, this is another budget line item for the taxpayer. Some other group will now be deployed to deal with the real issue for the habitat: the debris that humans impose on the animals.
