Personally I think it's a good idea. The money collected should go directly back into the managment and upkeep of the place. Some how i think it will end up in the consolidated revenue bag which is the problem.
The place has been abused for a long time now " Loved to death". Most weekends the place gets a hammering. I would hate to know exactly how foul the dunes are behind the camping areas. They banned sand spears there a while ago.
I don't think $25 is going to deter the boneheads, there will still be plenty up there. The only way to deter them is have the boys in blue cruising the beach. I have just got back from Fraser and the Police did just that. The word got around like wildfire and seatbelts were worn and the drivers seemed sober. They did get a few takers which is good.
When you consider it cost's $12 on the ferry return, 25 bucks is small price to pay. Try taking the family to movies for $25.
Feel better now.
