Public Hearing - EISs for the Proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal ...

1 it's really an intelligence beyond compare. I see in
2 the islands of the friends and there is many, many
3 things that go on; SeaDoc Society.
4 And I watch the whales. And I watch Haro
5 Strait. It's a bit of a pain for me to go out and
6 watch it because of all the boats.
7 But I was just out at the county park the
8 other day and I saw all the tanker ships.
9 And when I heard about this survey I was
10 really, really, really shocked to see that they're
11 going to go on Haro Strait, because I could see the
12 big boats. And I see the orcas really, really need
13 protection.
14 And I really understand that the San Juans
15 is a jewel and people are really, really intelligent
16 here. And to take this jewel and do even more damage
17 to it, it's not correct at all.
18 And the animals and all the intelligence
19 that's done here already for the study, it's not
20 correct to do this here at all. It's too much of a
21 jewel, it's too much of a scientific study, and it
22 should not happen at all. Thank you.
