The transformation of an empty lot into a naturalistic wetland can now be seen live online from Huntington Beach. marshcamgoc

The restoration of Magnolia marsh, being paid for with $3.3 million in federal stimulus funds, will create meandering water channels lined with native plants and will open the wetland area to tidal flow from the ocean.

The 41-acre restoration site was one of 50 smiliar projects on the nation’s coastlines chosen by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The 50 projects will cost a total of $167 million in stimulus dollars.

    yeah..right..and?

    (1)
    how MUCH did this COST tax payers LOCALLY?

    Nature is great and all, but people are far more valuable .. as are their possession of their respective earned monies.

    (2)
    How exactly will this stimulate the LOCAL economy? for you know LOCAL citizens?

    (3)
    Have you done any research into the relationship between fund recipients and local administration NEPOTISM? (that’s a big problem in Huntington Beach.. ask at a city council meeting and behold the response.. ‘thou protest too much’)

    (4)
    Why does ’survival of the fittest’ never seem to apply to nature or animals?

    (4b)
    Why do animals not suited to a given scenario require ‘protection? Adapt or die. That’s life.

    That money would have been better spent on child cancer research.
