PLEASE send a letter to the Marine Resources Commission re the application for
this very large pier. We need as many individual communications going out to
the Virginia Marine Resources Commission as possible to try to stop this
development in such a critical habitat area. The basic information is below.
Responses are due by May 30.
The Virginia Marine Resources Commission posted a notice of an application in
an insert in the May 15th Northern Neck News extra. This extremely large pier

in the country not to mention pristine habitat for birds, other wildlife, and
