My daughter, then about 10, was screamed at by the eco weanies around 2005 for daring to walk across that beach, even after the rope was ordered down and people were using it again.

You don't want her walking where the seals hang anyway. The feces carries pathogens that infect people. Seals will attack a child as well, and can move faster than a child would expect, particularly when surprised.

All true. I hope they do dredge it, clean it and return it to human use.....as it was intended when it was built for children for posterity, with private funds.
