Okay, now that I have your attention, I have to ask if anyone out there has the REAL scoop on the rumor that a Destin developer is working on plans to enlarge the harbor.
Background for my question: I spoke to a local real estate agent yesterday who told me that there have been discussions at the County planning meetings about doing just that, widening the harbor. She then told me that a diving friend of hers (a scientst-type guy) told her that there is a layer of something (oil, goop, crap, Burger King French Fries, algae, ???) 5 feet below the sand that, if disturbed, will spread thru the water and kill almost all marine life in the immediate area (Our beloved Jetties).
Can anyone on the boards speak intelligently about this? Does this person know what she is talking about? Do we need to show up in force at City Hall and "put our fins down" against this? If the harbor enlargement part is true, what about the "under-sea bed noxious life-killing junk" part?
Let's get informed about this before the *&$#@@@** Developers completely rape Destin out of existence! First all the land, now the Gulf too ...??!!??
