I'm disappointed that the NPCA is opposing Senator Feinstein's rider to the Department of Interior's appropriation bill. As the NPCA knows Drakes Estero is only potential wilderness. The oyster farm is a local, sutainable resource. The NAS has concluded that the oyster farm is not damaging the Estero. An 10 year extension of the lease is the right thing to do.

Having grown up in the Bay Area I have been going to Point Reyes my whole life, long before this area was designated as a National Park. I am so glad it is now protected so this spectacular place can be preserved for many more generations. I started coming up to this area in the 40's and still find it beautiful and relaxing. One of my favorite places in California.
