people at the mercy of a gov't gone "fowl"

It took 6 or 7 plovers to make a meal and they didn't taste very good at that. Their eggs don't scramble very well either.

 

you must have gotten some big plovers, took me about 19, and I had to get rid of a few because i couldnt hide all 25 in my backpack.

 

imagine walking three miles with your kids, the mother in law, etc. these people are out on the beach enjoying nature instead of sitting in the mcmansions that use heaps of electricity, etc. you don't get it.

 

a good example is the old dredge pond out behind the campground near the point. it would be a perfect environment but the park has let it become an over grown swamp perfect for breeding mosquitos and a home to predator snakes.

 

i dont understand what the big deal is with driving on the beach. they have roads now. we get along fine in NJ and we cant drive on the beach

 

if you lived here you would understand. this isn't NJ. you can't compare the two.

 

There are miles of beaches which are easily accessible, where breeding bird species haven't formed breeding colonies; I am sorry to hear about the impairments, but these beaches that you obviously enjoy are being degraded by automobile traffic. If you think you can appreciate with an engine running, turn it off sometime, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

The irony in that statement is the pond provides habitat for bird and insect species who eat mosquitoes. The snakes also eat rodents, not humans, so don't be scared.

 

you actually very wrong there are Parks for motorized vehicals that practice the tread lighty plan and they look like man has almost never been there exept for a trail . check out Raush Creek or anyone of them type places they practice tread lightly for minimal envormental impact.

 

they drive all over the beach on this island in nj non-stop for for ten months straight from barnegat inlet in island beach state park to mantoloking,and that's a good stretch of jersey shore miles.

intheye is correct;you don't get it,andrew from amsterdam.

if you had any connection with Hatteras whatsoever you would get it.

I actually know resident people being hurt by your kind,you are invasive to their home,you are threatening them,they could become endangered by you,and there's more to life than your tragically flawed science.

life is not science.

when man's science is considered the only truth,it is totally false.

there are many other things than science involved that you do not at all even consider.

i think that would be ignorance,and since you've stated that if we don't agree with you we are ignorant,so,i don't mind telling you.

your science is a false god,and a God-less religion.

 

yes i can appreciate the sound of a engine . Build one from a Bare Block to a full out 12.5 to 1 compression ration ran on race fuel. No need for a radio at all!!. And the smell of leaded VP C12 race fuel Makes me think of Victory!

 

conservationist & Amsterdam?

Amsterdam? Really? The city got its name from daming the Amstell River. Then the city set about creating a massive canal system throughout the city.
What could be more environmentally sensitve than damming a river, digging canals then building on every square inch of the city?
Was this irony intentional?

But seriously, rabid environmentalists and conservationists have to admit reality. The reality is that man exists and impacts the environment. We should work to mitigate the damage man creates. Erradicating man from places is not the answer, compromise is. Federal land is OUR land for us to use and enjoy.

And all you Delawareans keep this in mind when politicians suggest we need a national park in Delaware. We are the only state that does not have a national park, and given this type of over reach, I dont want the Feds getting their hands into our already messed up corrupt DENREC.

 

I was with you for the first few sentences / mini paragraphs. Then things got a little scary.
you need to watch the icp video "miracles" on youtube. You will probably love it.

 

sorry,dude.
andrew's preaching some kind of weird religion where science is all that counts.
sounds like a definite religion to me,these environment only,human hating people.
science is not God.
man's wisdom,science,is actually pretty much a shambles.
any decent scientist knows it,too

 

The thing I never understand is that if these people hate humans so much why don't they kill themselves? That is the perfect solution.

 

I would argue that there are many areas on the Outer Banks, which have lower beach densities, and are easily accessible for handicap individuals, with abundant wildlife. Again, I am in favor of closing the beaches in specific areas when breeding species are present. It would be arrogant to assert humanity over wildlife, especially when species viability is at stake. Last time I checked Humans were not in danger of extinction.

The canals were constructed almost 500 years ago, long before conservation was in the common lexicon.

I was advocating for closing a small portion of the beaches to vehicle traffic, to preserve certain threatened, and endanged species. If i had the personal option,I would close the entire national seashore to ORV traffic,
realisitically this isn't a plausible scenario.

Please don't drive it on the beach!!!! hahaha


A lot of the extended protection areas are directly related to vandalism.

If you are wondering why this isnt going your way, andrew, its because you PICKED THE WRONG WEBSITE TO TALK ABOUT CLOSING BEACHES. What did you expect? Those are fightin words around here, bra.

 

What would happen if the bird did go extinct? Is there some sort of repurcussion that I'm not aware of? Or is it just that the bird will be gone?
