Dear readers,

This section is a place for people to make their comments about the proposed sand dredging.

I myself is opposed to this project and I feel that this will be another wasted tax money coming out of our pocket. We, the tax payers, paid the Mineral Management Services to do the study (a 332pp. and now the Army corps,well known for their environmental mistakes,and not listening to opinions of environmental scientists/ecologists are going to do another study -- on what? -- to contradict the findings, exclude themselves and make reasons that it is a must to dredge these shoals that protect St. Lucie county's shoreline from further erosion and degradation!

According to them, Miami-Dade's continental shelf is narrow and deep and all the sand that has been used to renourish the beach have all since been gone - where?- deep down into the shelf , and cannot be recovered. So why should St. Lucie county and Martin County be the sacrificial lambs for this unending battle with nature?

Please do not forget to check the maps I posted.
