For the last two weeks I have been reading the
ten yes ten volume EIS for the Port Botany container development
proposal. Some birding Aus readers would have us believe that this will be the
best thing to happen to the waders of Botany Bay since ( I don't know,say the
third runway) Filling in almost 70 hectares of Botany Bay, enclosing Penrhyn
Estuary on three sides with railway lines a four lane road bridge and train
bridge operating 24-7, but there will be environmental works to off set these
works such as replanting sea grass, salt marsh and constructing wader habitat
within a enclosed Estuary. I believe that the bird clubs should become involved
with this fight and I would be happy to talk to anybody about this development.
The fight to stop this development is just about to begin.
