Surfers’ Stand on Restoration Plan Criticized
Unfortunately, every project that involves change--even the most sensible--will face opposition from a vocal minority. The article on the surfers who oppose the Bolsa Chica Coalition’s plan to restore the Bolsa Chica wetlands is a prime example. Although they may not think so, these surfers are in the minority in their opposition to this project.
Thousands of residents of Huntington Beach support the goals of the Bolsa Chica Planning Coalition because 1) it means the wetlands will be restored and 2) the project will provide jobs to help our county’s economic recovery. To me, and probably most of this city’s residents, these factors should outweigh the concerns of a few surfers.
