To the Editor:

Little Egg Inlet is a major disruption to the economic viability of LBI and the surrounding area.

Some people seem to think that it is just this little inlet used by private boaters at various times. They do not seem to understand that there is a likelihood for people who buy a boat and fish in the bay for a while to come to the conclusion that the ocean is the place to be. If they can’t get there, they don’t need the boat. If they can manage to sell the boat, who needs the shore house?
