_ A subsequent meeting with the Department of Environment indicated that minor changes in the course layout had been requested to accommodate wildlife use of the wetlands and to move parts of the course further away from the fore dunes. These changes were not sufficient enough to address the concerns raised in the Society's presentation. It appears highly probable that the course will be constructed with 7 of the holes still on secondary and tertiary dune systems.
