Blame it on the wealth or the vast influence on the island of Palm Beach, but the Island is just a little bit closer to killing the 2,400 sq. ft of Staghorn Coral reef located off its shores.
Reef Rescue was looking for added protections from the National Marine Fisheries Service for this endangered Staghorn Coral. They were turned down. The Agency believes that it would take years of study and they do not have the time. Therefore, they took the easy way out and concluded that the protections in place since November 2008 are sufficient.
Palm Beach is closer to dredging and filling with dirt sand. Why don't they use all that money and just haul in good sand for their beach re-nourishment projects that will continue until the Earth stops.
