It's good to see that the NPS is not buying into the spin of the environmental groups that they found the solution, in one easy stroke of a judges pen.

What has us worried is the idea of turning a part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area into a "Wilderness Study Area". What would be the focus of the "Study".

To say that the area would be open to "Pedestrians" is false. The best science shows that pedestrians are at least, or even more, disturbing to the birds.

Lets not even get into whether CHNSRA remotely qualifies under the Wilderness Act.
