I didn't think it would

Protected bird won't block Dauphin Island berm

As I figured it would, the Fish and Wildlife Service cleared the Army Corps of Engineers to reconstruct the sand wall on the west end of Dauphin Island. The local director says that the disruption to the piping plover's habitat would be temporary and that the berm will slow the deterioration of the habitat. So the berm goes up. In in six months, or a year, or eighteen months, it will go down again, like the last one, which lasted all of two years.
