Endangered Species, Endangered Humans

Jamie Larson has two articles of related interest in today's Register-Star. The first focuses on South Bay Task Force member Timothy O'Connor and his study of the ecology of South Bay: "Tracking the science of South Bay." The second covers Tuesday night's Common Council meeting, where Linda Mussmann called the recent proposal to designate major portions of South Bay a Significant Coastal Wildlife and Fish Habitat a "delaying tactic" to prevent the "causeway" through South Bay to be used as an industrial haul road and aggravated chronic rifts in the community with her demands for environmental justice: "Citizens demand end of truckway."
