We, the undersigned, supporters of the Surfrider Foundation Treasure
Coast Chapter, are petitioning the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)
to reject the so-called "borrowing"of sand from the St. Lucie
shoal. The taxpayers' cost of Miami-Dade's "re-nourishment"
project would be astronomical. This shoal is designated Essential Fish
Habitat (EFH) under National Marine Fisheries Service protection; a
barrier shoal providing protection to Hutchinson Island and our nuclear
power plant, and important charter, commercial, and recreational fishing
location, providing crucial economics and recreation for our communities.
As the keepers of the Treasure Coast, we are vehemently against the
Corps from allowing Miami-Dade and other Florida counties from stealing
this shoal and our shoreline protection. |
