Quotations
Our beaches have always been a tremendous tourist attraction to surfers and fishermen, but with the spoliation of some of them and the destruction of pippie beds there has been a continual outcry against the mining companies—so much so that the companies themselves have attempted to allay the outcry and create a better public image for themselves.
