KommieFornia Strikes again- Drakes Bay Oyster Farm

Sidebar
On the other hand, Neal Desai, of the National Parks Conservation Association, says that although oysters are normally beneficial creatures, the ones planted by Drakes Bay are neither native to the area (they’re Japanese oysters) nor are they being restored. Rather, he says, they’re being planted, on wooden racks (the sandy beds of Point Reyes are not to their liking) in such quantities as to overwhelm the estero. The water quality from Point Reyes is generally high enough that the oysters’ filtration is simply filtering out nutrients, he says. And owner Lunny was planting non-native, invasive Manila clams along with the oysters, which may be escaping from their beds and going feral.
 
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy created the Point Reyes National Seashore with the understanding that some existing businesses, including the oyster farm, would have to leave within 50 years.
 
The appeals court found that Salazar was well within his legal rights. Moreover, the court noted that Kevin Lunny, the owner of Drakes Bay Oyster Company, knew that when he bought the oyster farm in 2005 the National Park Service had no intention of renewing the oyster farm's permit to operate when it expired in 2012. The court also noted that the Interior "Department repeatedly warned the company that it did not plan to issue a new permit."

It would appear that there may be a bit more to the OP story than was originally disclosed. Go figure. I wonder if that was done intentionally?

Care to back up your claim?

Which "politician" was pissed off?

By whom?

Or are you just expelling meaningless hot air again?

LOL.............

Tea party activists have taken up his cause, citing it as an example of government quashing free enterprise and environmentalism run amok. Lunny also has the support of powerhouse conservative law firms representing him pro bono, and Cause of Action, a Washington, D.C.-based government watchdog group with ties to the conservative Koch brothers.

Lunny, a genial and quiet man, said he doesn't want to be associated with "right-wing land rights and anti-government groups."
"This has spun out of control like none of us would ever have imagined," Lunny said. "Some of these groups came out of the woodwork" after Salazar decided against extending the lease. "All of a sudden we have some new friends."
 
Thank you Dell,

For making the point for me

This is nothing but a contrived Right Wing Circle Jerk

Everyone knew e lease was expiring, and knew it for 50 years

Lunny knew it when he bought the farm 5 years ago. ( probably on the cheap probably counting on some political favors to get the lease with the planned expiration date renewed... Oddly enough, Fienstien seems implicated here...)

Lunny "plants" invasive species of clams.

Political favors don't come through, Salazar declines to renew lease, as planned all along. 50 years ago... And Lunny knew it.

Rich boy loses $$$, and gets his feelings hurt.

Rich boy gets his rich boy friends to stir up the TP masses and Fox's Know Knothing Raving Foaming Ranting Heads.

That is all this is.

You missed the part about this being a cause celebre for more than your RWNJ .
 
"Cause celebre"?

You missed the part about how it has been longstanding policy for all non-conforming leases on public lands to not be renewed.

Tis is one of many, many similar cases, all resolved the same way under the same policy.

Somehow, this one becomes a "big deal"

See above post...

Rich boy screwed up and got his feelings hurt

Add a little rich boy $$ stirring the TeaPot, and a little FOXsensationalism, and, Voila!

I didn't research it

Going to guess, that yes, that is about right

Welfare for corporations and the wealthy

I guess that makes him a "taker", and thus a socialist Obama voting Democrat?

Or, can we finally recognize that there are plenty of "entitlements" being taken advantage of, by people of all ideologies, all over the country?

And, that we who work and pay taxes are supporting their good deal?
