Loving Fitzgerald too much?

Opinion

A video posted to YouTube shows this weekend's crowd at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, which was mobbed when a very low tide coincided with a holiday weekend and spectacular weather. We visited twice and brought three kids. We weren't the only ones. The docents did a good job of keeping the crowds as far as they could from the seals, but it was a crazy weekend and probably left a lot of unseen damage. How much could be done to lessen the damage without limiting public access?
