City Must Protect Its City-Owned Marshlands With St. Augustine National Historical Park and National Seashore
St. Augustine City Commissioners earlier this year rightly rejected a massive new Fish Island Marina dock that would take publicly owned submerged lands (a beautiful marsh that is essential to our ecology. .
Why would anyone want to ruin our marshes? To help foreign investors make money from pleasure boat-owners. Sickening when you consider how long the marshes have been here and what there purpose is in replenishing life.
In Cape Cod, Nauset Marsh is a national treasure, protected as part of over 41,000 acres in Cape Cod National Seashore.
Let our envirohment and history be saved from plunderers.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
