There are rumors that the Ca. State parks  have closed beaches in Santa
Cruz  and now are wanting to close the few beaches left open to horses in
Monterey  too. All because of the Snowy Plover( small bird ) nesting there

fact or just a rumor?


I don't know - but I for one am a little tired of closing areas fo what might be a well-intentioned preservation plan - just to see hundreds and thousands of homes, amlls, businesses, etc., go up drowning us ALL in traffic and ultimately having a much more deleterious effect on that same habitat and wildlife. In the end, if we don't stop propagating OURSELVES ad nauseum, it won't matter what they close.
