To the Editor:
I live at 2506 Central Ave., Barnegat Light. In the past few years, the use of powerful fireworks has increased dramatically on our beaches. These fireworks menace our homeowners and their pets. They also interfere with local wildlife.
The piping plover, a protected shorebird, builds its nest and rears its young on the beaches of Barnegat Light. Is it possible for these protected birds to survive the annual bombardment of illegal fireworks displays that take place on our beaches?
