Hi folks...Just to make a clean cut...I am already getting several hits on my response to my on the GCWA issue. I don't wish to get into it further other than what I posted with the exception of knowing where the funding came from for the study . My opinions are my own and can not be figured into the science of this study whatsoever. I will say this tho, I completely agree with Mark B. that if we Texans and residents of the gulf coast do not address the Least Tern/Black Skimmer breeding complications on the gulf coast, these two species will become almost extinct within the next 30-40 years.or less...They require the very same beaches to breed on that we bipeds increasingly love to trample into the sand with our dogs, jeeps. ATV etc. B
