Gulf of Mexico and health?
Roy, we need more people like you who actually care about wetlands being
drained. = http://www.urban-nature.org/publications/sprawl.htm. Wetlands are nature's kidneys and home to the seafood industry at large. That is a fairly large economic impact for Ala, Ms and FLA. You mentioned asphalt. The asphalt that is upland from a large watershed, beit, Gulf of Mexico. Mississippi River, Atlantic, Pacific, Great Lakes, is a way for motor oil to be washed in to it when rainsfall occurs on that asphalt. Or the guy who dumped his anti-freeze, motor oil, cement or whatever else in to the sewer system. Look at http://www.watersmart.cc/. See the storm sewer? Do you over-fertlize? Use pesticides or herbicides? This is waht the book is about - whether the title is St. Andrews Bay (you know where that is), Great Lakes, Atlantic, Pacific, Chesapeake or anywhere else. I never was a power boater - 18' sloop. 22' yawl and 26' sloop and sailed upsteam Galveston Bay only. Personally, I never was crazy about the beach. But what washes up on it is what is dumped into the watersheds hundres of miles upstream (and with help from jet skis, boats etc) = I spent a week in the panhandle of Florida and it is a nice eco-region. = I'll work on my end over here and maybe you and others can work on your end over there.

The same ones that have all those jet skis and other power boats for rental making a oil slick on the surface wherever their at, the same ones that pay off congress and other politicians to turn a blind eye while they drain wetlands and marshy areas in the gulf region so they can add an addition to their 3,000 room hotel unit. Anymore if you visit the gulf if you don;t stay in a hotel on the beach you can not even get anywhere near the beach as its all private property, except for a very fewe so called public areas, that are so overused and trashed its like being in a landfill. No, if they want to save the Gulf they need to back these foolks up and clear the beaches of the buildings and rip up all those parking lots and condos, and put it back the way it was 20 years ago. The beach can dry up or blow away for all I care, as I do not own beachfront property and I refuse to get bunched up like a feedlot full of cows just to dip my toes in the water, and I'll certainly not spend $165.00 a ight to sleep in a hotel just to be confined to the htels section of beach either, so what happens to the gulf has little impact on me. Thats the way it is in the Florida and Alabama and Mississippi panhandle regi= on........ -- = J.
