Pt. Reyes Settlement is the Only Economically and Environmentally Sustainable Option
Considering the market conditions for ranching, plus persistent challenges of drought and climate change at the Point Reyes National Seashore, the recent settlement agreement that will result in the closure of 12 ranches in the park was the only economically and environmentally sustainable option.
I consider the fact that it was reached through a voluntary agreement and compromise on both sides, rather than a court-ordered judgment, reinforces that the status quo was not working.
