A very interesting article by Reg reporter Pat Brennan this morning about a consultant that says building the Foothill South tollroad will have no effect whatever on surfing conditions at the famous Trestles beach.
The story says that claims by environmental activists were wrong, according to Richard Seymour, a research engineer at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and an oceanographic consultant, who was paid $6,000 for the report.
“The reports commissioned by the Surfrider Foundation just contained a number of very, very serious erroneous assumptions – and incorrect theories, and incorrect interpretations of other documents,” Seymour said.
Much of the support for the Save Trestles campain came from surfers looking to protect the loved surf break.
