Palm Beach tried to commit a crime

Palm Beach

Read about The Town of Palm Beach's potential crime against nature

Mayor Jack McDonald just retained his seat by one vote. What were the people of Palm Beach thinking?

If you recall, the Town of Palm Beach and its Mayor at the lead, wanted to dredge gray offshore sand and dump it on the beach thus causing greater turbidity and sedimentation than would native beach sand, posing a big danger to the feeding practices of marine life, and would bury reefs as well as dirt sand moving down to Lake Worth's beach.

The city of Lake Worth joined in with the Surfriders Foundation and Snook Foundation to challenge Palm Beach's potential crime with their Reach 8 project. We finally got one right!
