Subject: Amendment to the shoreline master plan
Members of the Planning Commission:
We support amending the shoreline master plan to prohibit industrial projects such as the
Pit to Pier on Hood Canal. There will never be enough land or water resources to satisfy
economic motives. Those of us who love the land and water of the Olympic Peninsula and
Hood Canal must resist its destruction. The pier, tie up platforms, huge barges, and the
attendant noise will be the end of the scenic beauty and quiet of Hood Canal.
Furthermore Hood Canal is a biologically sensitive area. Already we know this from its
decimated fisheries and its oxygen depleted waters. Industrialization of this water body
would be a tremendous mistake and a giant move in the wrong direction.
We should place high value in protecting and enhancing the water and land of our county
for their food resources, wildlife values, and not least their inspirational values.
Sincerely,
Rosemary Sikes, President
Admiralty Audubon Society
