Supreme Court Turns Down Drakes Bay Oyster Co. Appeal

Tomorrow may be the last time that we'll see oyster farming during our annual Bull Point Hike.



On Monday, June 30th, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal of Drakes Bay Oyster Company in its efforts to overturn the decision of the Department of the Interior not to renew the company's lease at Point Reyes National Seashore.

Video clips in this report by the Marin I-J show DBOC owner, Kevin Lunny and his lawyer vowing to continue his fight to stay in business, although neither clearly stated what steps could be taken to require the federal goverment to permit the oyster operation to continue in the Seashore.
