Folks:

Just received advice that in spite of a gallant effort by many, the decision
to go ahead with the destruction of Fujimae Tidal Flat was taken yesterday.

One is always left feeling a little gutted at a moment like this.  An
initial urge is to throttle all manner of things Japanese but let us not
foget that it was our Japanese bretheren that pearheaded the fight to save
the mudflat. 

Certainly here in Australia we will have to keep a close watch on shorebird
numbers to ascertain what, if any, impact this will have have birds staging
through from Fujimae.
