Rockefeller Refuge Update

[cajun bill]

Gentlemen: I suggest we start bombarding our state reps with complaints. (No use in calling your congressman, they'll just refer you to your state rep) I just did so and I mentioned the possibility of the public usage of the launch at the refuge HQ temporarily. Numbers count so if this is important to you, we'd better jump on the horn, email, etc. to get something going.

The refuge is still OPEN, just got to get to it from other areas. I don't see this as a bad thing, going to improve things there.

Rockefeller is NOT funded thru public money, there is an endowment from the Rockefeller family and royalties on oil/gas leases which is why Rockefeller has great equipment to work with

Yes, you will still be able to access Price Lake Rd overland, but it is effectively closed to boat traffic. Rollover landing is not an alternative because there is almost no parking and besides that, you will have to go out to the gulf, a very unsafe place for small boats which is the main type of boats used at this refuge. Yes, it does need the improvements, but there is a better way to do this (see other suggestions above).
