They have to tell us what they are up to. They are up to no good for our economy. Only government regulation, to wast TAX dollars on climate lies, and restrict land use. Ask them about the fish farm.

‘Tsunami awareness”

Absolute bullshit! Our coastal goons have done nothing in favor of tsunami awareness for decades now. The Amophilla had been planted expressly to create a frontal dune and a corresponding inboard wetland- for resilience and habitat, now these galoots have destroyed a pygmy forest, a constructed wetland AND blown-out the hind-dune.

Journalists? Out to lunch.
Responsible oversight? Not since the horribly misnamed Friends of the Dunes, who have destroyed our natural resources for decades now, are the phoniest enviros ever!

Instead of cheerleading for an exercise that you know nothing about, pull
your head out and tell us the value you see in grass removal.

Stay away from the dunes, please.
