Dave
Beaches come and go even with or without "climate change," leaving
less and less sand in which to bury ones head. The only constant is
the ability of "influentials" to intimidate bureaucrats charged with
protecting the broader national interest in the face of unpleasant
realities.

God only knows what point you are trying to make here, but you are
demonstrating that you have no clue of the relevant details or local
background. Assateague is the northern-most of 8 barrier islands on the
Virginia Eastern Shore. None are developed at all, Assateague is the
only one with a causeway bridge leading onto it. The others are
reachable by a short boat trip. Being barrier islands and all, they all
constantly shift. Not being developed, they effectively protect the
inner coastal regions. Assateague was designated as a national seashore,
thus for public enjoyment, back in the 1960's. It only later got
converted into a National Wildlife Refuge, a decision the locals had no
input into. As for vehicular access, I see no problem allowing it as
always, given the same wildlife inhabits and nests on Cedar, Metompkin,
Parramore, and the rest of the islands down to Smith Island.

Did you read the Washington Post article?

As to local knowledge . . . you are probably not aware that I was the
original Misty's dialogue coach and keeper of the sugar cubes, but
then again that bitch mare was about as generous with the credits as
Madonna in her day, and she **** inside her trailer between just about
every take. So don't blame me if your so-called "GOD" won't straighten
you out on this deal.

Seriously, read the article.
