BINGO. Man is as much a part of nature, as a Mountain Lion, Mano, deer, moose, etc., and has as much a right to exist and flourish as another other part thereof.

Agree. I was being flippant. Many environmentalists are suspicious about any projects on sensitive environments like shorelines and demand rigorous EISs. I was alluding to their perspective.

Environmentalists are somewhat deceiving on the matter; they will say something like: We don't oppose coastal modification; we just want the proper permitting....T's crossed....I's dotted.

Reality is environmentalists had key roles in drafting regulations like Corp of Engineers shoreline permitting; the rules are extraordinarily complex and rigorous.

We'll never see any artificial surf breaks in Hawaii; indeed not even ocean rock rock pools, which are far less impacting on coastal environments. ocean rock pools

Hawaii, more so than almost any other state, is known for its hostility to shoreline projects.
