For those who don't realize the importance of our mangroves, let Burma be a horrible, tragic lesson. For some here, who want to have a clear area on their shoreline property, mangroves may just seem to be another obstacle in the way. But those laws against moving, cutting or clearing mangroves have been made for a reason. Nature isn't kind about rearranging her system of land protection. This isn't *tree & bunny hugger* drivel - as most environmental policies are not, this is about the most basic components of taking care of the place we live in. Money that buys land doesn't give the right to blithely overlook the very sound ways of Nature.
Developers: Take Note!
Residents and visitors take note...if you are out on the water and see ANY destruction of mangroves along the shoreline, call Fish and Wildlife and/or DRN and let them know where you've seen this happening.
