Hello:
Here are my views on the current text of the Shoreline Plan, due today--Jan. 30, 2009.
I support:
1.) Based on the historic record of major operations along the shores of Hood Canal weighed
against its value in a sustainable state
as habitat and visual asset: Amending the current preliminary draft
shoreline master plan (SMP) to prohibit mining and associated activities on the shoreline of
Hood Canal and all other shorelines of state-wide significance within Jefferson County's
jurisdiction is I believe, in the best long-term interest of the public.
2. Including clear provisions in the plan and any implemenary action or rulings covering
aquaculture, including net pens. fish farming and related culture, shellfish culture and
other aquatic activities, etc.
specifically disallowing those which involve use of anti-biotics, fertilizers, genetically-
modified organisms (GMO's), herbicides, and pesticides.
3. Enhancing use opportunities for sustainable, organic production of regionally-compatible
native or acculturated and desirable shellfish--most especially oysters--a Treasure of the
Sea. Aftert all, making it easier to adopt and apply responsible practices is a fair and
wise means of encouragement.
4. Adopting the noteworthy new approach lately announced by President Obama to incorporate
the findings of competant scientists in the determination of Public Policy, and the clear
incorporation wherever possible, of the views of responsible citizens to ease the sizeable
challenge to property owners to use, manage and hold their properties, as it were, in trust
for following generations.
