Jim, What a sad sad picture for me. I spent vacations in 1978, 1979, and 1980 on that beach. Arguably, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world at the time! My wife and I would hike in and walk the beach to collect the flotsam each day and haul it out with us as we left in the evening. It was pure nature, and the French laws had restricted construction and designated it as an area that was not to be built on. I have intentionally avoided Orient Beach from November of 1980 when I witnessed the first of the developments opening. Money talks, and I'm sure there was a lot involved. It is now built up from end to end. I have seen footage of the "Progress" that has ensued. What a sad outcome for the nesting turtles, birds, and the wide range of wetland wildlife that found sheltered and habitat on that beach. It's amazing what man can call progress, and how fast we can destroy what nature built over the ages.
Everyone, please help protect & preserve nature and wildlife that depend on it. After all, we depend on nature for our sport.
