BOYCOTT OF PALM BEACH HOTELS,

RESTAURANTS & BUSINESSES

Coral reef advocates from around the world have sent nearly 1,100
emails to the Town of Palm Beach asking them to withdraw their
objections to federal critical habitat protections for ESA listed
staghorn coral. Some letters from as far away as Australia, with
many promising a boycott of Palm Beach hotels, restaurants and
businesses. The Town of Palm Beach insists the federal coral reef
protections will interfere with their beach renourishment projects.

The National Marine Fisheries Service is in the process of reviewing

a petition filed by Palm Beach County Reef Rescue to include all of
the Town of Palm Beach offshore waters into the federal critical
habitat designated area.

If you care about where your tourism dollars are spent consider the
Town of Palm Beach is the only municipality in Florida that opposes
the same federal coral habitat protections that already exist along
the rest of the 330 mile long Florida Reef Tract.
