They are built on the theory that if the sea should "take them." or a hurricane hit there and wipe them out completely. the owners would not have lost too much. Yet the people who live in those flimsy structures are the very people who are expected to produce billions of dollars in revenue for a recreation program under this bill. Recreation is a fine purpose but if we are thinking in terms of what we can do. it would be well that the resources of the Outer Continental Shelf and the sea itself should be developed so that when the minerals are gone. the people there will not have to leave. will not have to become migrants. will not have to go somewhere else and look for jobs. We should not be bleeding away the resources. we should be developing the potential of the sea. There will not only be recreational advantages. and not necessarily federally owned facilitiesthere Is nothing wrong with private ownership of a hotel on the beach or private ownership of a recreational areabut there would also be the potential to produce tremendous amounts of fish. shrimp. lobsters. and all sorts of other edible marine life which would be a great asset to be developed in the years to come.
