Point Reyes National Seashore brings people from around the world. So do a lot of other natural wonders in our area. We need to preserve these esteros and wetlands areas to filter our water, keep species from extinction, and keep what are becoming fewer protected wilderness areas for future generations. Please do all you can to protect natural and wildlands resources no matterwhose borders they are bound by and no matter what industries try to define their value. Commercial or privatized plundering of commons is a crime and should be stopped, especially in the only marine wilderness protected on the West Coast; please continue and strengthen this protection. Thank you for listening.

Correspondence ID: 4023 Project: 33043 Document: 43390Name: Weinstein, Melanie Outside Organization: Unaffiliated IndividualReceived: Nov,08,2011 15:17:29Correspondence Type: Web FormCorrespondence: I support the wilderness designation for Drakes Estero within the Point Reyes National Seashore. I urge the National Park

Service and Department of the Interior to uphold the 1976 Point Reyes Wilderness Act and select alternative A, which protectsthis important marine wilderness and is the environmentally preferred alternative.

Drakes Estero is a unique and ecologically significant wildlife area. It is an important stop on the flyway for migrating birds, a refuge and birthplace for harbor seals and a critical native fish nursery. Congress and the public have long intended that Drakes Estero be given the highest federal level of protection as a wilderness area when the commercial oyster lease expires in 2012.

This can only be accomplished by selecting Alternative "A" and ending commercial use of this sensitive wildlife refuge. Alternative A is the most consistent with National Park Service laws and policies. The Park Service's environmental review shows that alternative "A" best protects wildlife and the National Park experience.

Our national parks are for the people and wildlife protection, and wilderness areas with our parks should not prioritize commercial exploitation. The American public deserves to have this unique marine wilderness protected in a natural state for future generations to enjoy.

Drakes Estero is the only marine wilderness on the West Coast, and is irreplaceable, while oysters can be grown elsewhere.

As someone who enjoys our spectacular national parks, I urge you to not undermine protections at Drakes Estero and succumb to special interests seeking to commercialize these special places.

National Parks and wilderness areas are treasured by the majority of Americans and are for the public interest, not for private commercial exploitation. By protecting wilderness, the National Park Service will set a positive policy example while commercializing it will set a negative example and help others seek their special exemptions from national park laws.

The American

public deserves to have the West Coast's only marine wilderness protected for future generations to enjoy. Drakes Estero is arare wildlife refuge where migrating birds stop over, harbor seals give birth, and fish spawn. It deserves the highest level of protection as Congress long-intended. As someone who enjoys our nation's spectacular national parks, I urge you to not undermine protections at Drakes Estero and succumb to special interests seeking to commercialize these special places.

I urge the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior to select alternative "A", which protects marine wilderness and is the environmentally preferred alternative. The NPS is mandated to provide maximum protection to the natural resources, as stated in the Seashore's legislation, and selecting this alternative is the most consistent with the laws and policies affecting this park. Our national parks are for the people and wildlife protection, not commercial exploitation. The environmental review shows that alternative "A" best protects harbor seals, fish, birds and other wildlife and plants. Drakes Estero is our only marine wilderness on the West Coast, and it is irreplaceable, while oysters can be grown elsewhere.
