I wonder, though, given all the needs of the National Park System, if a road has been destroyed by hurricanes in two consecutive years, should we really spend the money to rebuild it? The article reports that the lack of human activity on the fragile seashore - activity which used to include bustling campgrounds and commercial concessions - has produced an increasing abundance of wildlife. Perhaps thats a good thing? One problem with a mission of "preservation" is "what to preserve" - in this case, perhaps the National Park Service should be willing to look a little further back in time for a preservation point.
