Management Plan Meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 24th at the Coastal Branch Library (1pm-4pm). Please visit www.dunelakes.org for more information.
It seems from our last meeting that most of us are on the same page. I would like to reiterate the priorities covered in our last meeting of the Coastal Lakes. In addition, I would like to pose another potential change for Big Redfish Lake with all of the development. In particular, as you know, we haven't seen much change in the salinity of this lake since the Gulf doesn't seem to penetrate it too often. With all of the new units from the 4 major projects being built around the Lake, we should expect to see 1500 people using a beach which is currently being used by maybe <50 people. Seeing how much people like manipulating the outflows at the other Lakes, I think we will see more of this at Big Redfish. Currently, it looks as though people have tried to dam the outflow, probably just playing around. ( It seems that we humans take an interest in changing things just because we can. ) Question: In the long term, how will this human manipulation of opening and closing of the outflow of Big Redfish, which seems to be very constant otherwise? Should we also include education of this man-made change to a natural thing?CBA Phillip said:We will post them immediately after the meeting. Let me know if you have any issues that need to be discussed during the meeting....
