Rhode Island used to have Moonstone beach. The local authorities tried for years to get it shut down. It took the federal authorities declaring it a nesting area for an endangered species, the Piping Plover to do it. It's funny I've seen Piping Plovers, nesting, on a lot of Rhode Island Beaches, I think Piping Plovers like people, (humans tend to keep other predators away), yet the authorities haven't shut down any of the other beaches.
