Development and the Ormond Beach Wetlands
- Share via
With more than 90% of California’s flyway habitat wetlands destroyed, the Ormond Beach wetlands rise in significance as a natural homeland for wildfowl and an example of how nature fashions an ecosystem that is sustainable.
The genius or inclination of man has never been sufficient to manufacture a reproduction of a workable ecosystem. Once it has been destroyed, any chance for future generations to study the ways of nature is lost forever. Any development that would hinder the viability of the Ormond Beach wetlands would be a tragedy for Oxnard and California.
