Some other ideas:
Respect what is not yours
Be willing to pay to correct the damages others have done
Be willing to put your effort, time and energy to help make corrections
Realize that correcting the actions of others will take time, effort and a lot of money
Respect the state and county officials that are now charged with trying to correct this mess
No action at this location will be easy or quick for the state or the county. There are many regulations that are in effect to protect coastal areas like this. The actions of a few have opened up this area to far more people than the current 'hands off' area should have. The goal of Impact Statements is to try to uncover all potential actions and impacts that can occur. The state and county are mandated to do Impact Statements on coastal zone areas, esp, when gov't monies are involved. Get involved in this process, volunteer to do some of the work needed, if this is your passion (and esp. if it is your profession, you should definately be putting a percentage of your monies into this). It definately will open your eyes to the process! (Yes, I have volunteered at this location, I helped gather the initial data that was reported in the paper (OK, it was a school project, but that means I paid to volunteer!))
