The entire Hood Canal shoreline is designated as a "Shoreline of State-Wide Significance" and as such should not be threatened with permits for mining activities including conveyor belts, piers, and barges. Come on folks, you can do better by the current and future residents of this county. Hood Canal needs less, not more, development, as evidenced by countless examples of oxygen depletion, declining marine life, unacceptable increases in shoreline runoff and the resulting impacts to the local ecology and economy. Please educate yourselves on the efforts to restore this critical habitat at Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda website bllp ://www. ~. wa. g ov I aa _action _ ag end a. ghQ.
