Estuary is a mudflat, really?

Interesting, the opinions espoused by Ron Rant’s May 21 letter to the editor. Interesting to call a naturally occurring estuary a ‘mudflat.’

Condolences to the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. Interesting to assume a naturally occurring estuary would have worse water quality than a contaminated man-made lake. Since the New Zealand mud snails arrived via the lake-using enthusiasts, I find the argument thin at best. I suspect with these opinions, Mr. Rants also assumes climate change is good for the planet.
