ok…..first of all, who asked whom to place the sandbags on the beaches to save the erosion? if these storms caused the sandbags to be strewn from the orig location to other locations, it might be that the sandbags were not placed correctly (especially if was meant to stop the erosion). you can’t condemn a condo owner, if it’s the association was told by an agency to put sandbags out there. you also can’t blame mother nature because of her fury of a storm. it would be different if i made a conscious effort and tossed the trash on the ground. to me, this was a ridiculous fight and no fine should be paid. it should be a matter of everyone stop blaming each other and helping with the cleanup. there was not malicious fowl play to actually litter the beach.
I’d be willing to bet that the Conservation League did nothing to help besides ***** about the situation. Probably could not find one of their members picking up sand bags.
When told to clean up the mess, the residents responded by saying they were told to use the small bags? Huh? That doesn’t make any sense. It’s shocking that the bags weren’t removed within a few days of the storms’ end, because there are beach walkers who perform trash removal every day (although it occurs to me that those that were not removed were “escapees” and not on the beaches at Wild Dunes). The condo owners are paying HUGE amounts to have sand bags trucked in to allay the encroachment of the ocean – without the bags, many of the beach properties at Wild Dunes would already be gone. Mother Nature doesn’t want houses on the beach.
Be very careful as we will soon receive fines for littering due to the garbage trucks loosing debris and trash from their trucks (be they private or government operated), this sets a new level of off budget revenue for the government!

I wonder how much the state paid to clean-up the mess. Certainly a lot more than the fine it collected. Guess whose money was used?
