Ive watched the beach south of BajaGringos place change for the worse in just my short life time. The beach had a bench of the small coveted black
stones that created a break wall and sand trap that has played a part in the creation and preservation of the dunes protecting the bay.

Over the years I have seen the collecting of stones take it's toll on the little beach area. The elevation of the beach was much higher than it is
now. The loss of so many stones has caused erosion to the point where many years ago during a storm, the waves almost breached the sand dunes that
protect the bay and it's oyster beds. The locals claim that any breach would be disastrous to the oyster beds in San Quintin Bay.

Earlier this year the Federals were surveying the beach and the dunes measuring the changes,

i doubt the aggregate mining has removed a significant amount of sediment compared to storms and natural processes.
in the big picture, you global warming's increase in sea level and increase in storm intensity and frequency will probably be 10X more detrimental to
SQ oyster beds. notice that this is not political, as i did not say who or what is causing global warming!

Yet, the sea level remains the same... People who live (or camp) next to the sea in Baja over the past 40 or more years, still do, at the same
location... The exception is where the beach has changed/ moved from other natural or manmade causes... but the level of the ocean remains within a
few inches of when accurate measurements were first recorded. Global Warming caused by man is a hoax. Climate change has been happening for a billion
years and raising taxes for Big Government won't change a thing other than hurt people.

Dear David, Who loves ya baby,
The point I was Making has nothing to do with sea level rise and every thing to do with what happens when these small stones are removed. They have
gathered and formed there over many of our lifetimes to help create what we know as San Quintin bay. They have softened the harsh blows of the
relentless Pacific waves and trapped the sand with the help of the plants stabilizing the dunes. That section of beach already washes into the bays
wetlands under extreme conditions.
Everything we do has consequences.

I agree with you... I was responding to Mt. Goat 666 (who follows the religion preached by algore, regardless of facts)...
Have a great Sunday!

The beach's below Punta Baja is full of rock farmers and they have had bumper crops for years. They are sorted by size and color. MMc
