Why has the closures gone up so much? Is there any scientific reason for that? Or is it the town just wanting to limit and control people driving on the beach?
Just doing a quick google search and it seems many places make it work without closing beaches or anything. Fences, people watching, etc etc.
Not sure why duxbury is so much different, unless the town is using this to control beach access.
Id say you have a pretty good case just basing it off a quick search of what other places with these birds do.
