http://www.beachnbil… Innovative way to pay for beach maintenance in other states. You know, the ones with clean sand in urban areas.
Okay, okay. Say what you will. The fact is that our urban beaches look like trash heaps, the Legislative commission recommends spending $3.1 million annually on beach maintenance, and this is a way to fund same. Besides, these are not pristine beaches where imprinted messages will despoil the beach–these are beaches where any messages quickly will be obliterated by the footprints of happy little feet running on clean sand.
Clean it and they will come.

But something to be aware of concerning beach grooming – mechanical grooming tends to actually increade e. coli concentrations. here’s one article for starters.
I was involved with legislation to hike the camping fee from $14 to $15, and let the state park keep the extra $1 for maintenance. Died a quick death, as Boston couldn’t bear the thought of the Park Rangers being able to make maintenence decisions without their overbearing, if sporadic, input.
