• <br />• <br />• <br />A temporary ordinance for the no -wake zone, put in place in 2002, has led to an <br />increase in the number of birds and the improvement of water quality. <br />It may be a slow comeback, but the herons are edging back toward survival. To <br />me, it is a mute point to argue if the no -wake zone alone will keep the birds on their nests <br />and have them care for their chicks. The no -wake zone is simply an opportunity to help <br />balance the equation. It is something we as humans can decide and implement. It is <br />something we ask of our elected officials; wanting them to do the best for our natural <br />resources. <br />The rookery is valued and observing and protecting these birds helps us restore <br />our very souls in this busy world. I hope that the rookery will remain and not be just a <br />memory. <br />
