05.10.2012 - Letter to Cong. Lynn Woolsey; Point Reyes Drakes Estero Wilderness

The letter is excerpted below, or click here for a PDF of the letter.

Dear Congresswoman Woolsey:

On behalf of the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees (CNPSR), I would like to explain why we consider the termination of the oyster operation in Drake’s Estero, Point Reyes National Seashore on November 30, 2012, a priority for all who care about national parks. The Department of the Interior (DOI) will soon make a final decision on this issue under discretionary authority provided by Congress in the 2010 DOI appropriations act.   To inform the DOI policy decision this year, the National Park Service is conducting an environmental review process. Because we fear that advocates for the oyster operation will look to Congress once again if DOI acts to terminate the operation, we ask for your help in fending off any further inappropriate Congressional action.
