Whereas, the Town Board of the Town of Babylon
has determined that artificial feeding of waterfowl is actually harmful
to these animals and can cause poor nutrition, increased hybridization,
water pollution, beach closures, contamination of shellfish growing
areas, delayed natural migration, high concentrations of waterfowl
at unnatural sites, overcrowding, spread of disease, costly management
efforts, unnatural behavior and cumulative negative environmental
impacts on the South Shore Estuary Reserve.
