Senator Feinstein: Protect Drakes Estero at Point Reyes National Seashore against Commercial Uses
“Stop oyster farming in Drakes Estero and protect Point Reyes National Seashore.”
The commercial oyster farming permit in Point Reyes National Seashore expires in 2012. Drakes Estero is an area slated for Wilderness protection once this non-conforming use is eliminated. The Estero provides important harbor seal breeding grounds. Senator Feinstein MUST support protection of our National Seashore against commercial uses and oppose renewal of the permit.
Why is this important?
“Stop oyster farming in Drakes Estero and protect Point Reyes National Seashore.”
Commercial oyster farming in Point Reyes National Seashore is permitted until 2012 when the permit expires. Drakes Estero is an area slated for Wilderness protection once this non-conforming use is eliminated. The Estero provides important harbor seal breeding grounds. Senator Feinstein has the chance to protect marine habitat by opposing the permit renewal. We are calling on her to support protection of our National Seashore against commercial uses.
