Oh no, I am highly in favor of working in the public sphere on issues like this. It is good to know there are fellow travelers doing good work. You are far from alone these days and we all need to encourage each other and share what we are doing and what we know. Up here in New Jersey shore communities have some of the most disturbed habitats and are most in need of help. A close friend of mine is working hard up here and you might want to check out her website. Searching Pat Sutton should help you find it.
In any case, talk about these issues all you want.
