Re: HBSP



Parkin et al,
    The sand will rebuild areas that have eroded around the bases of the
jetties at Murrells Inlet. It will actually restore habitat that has been
lost in the area where Wilson's Plover, Willet, and Least Tern have been
known to nest.
    It's not a "bad thing." Believe it or not, the Corps does occasionally
do good things.

Cheers,
Gary
