Here in Orange Co. the local beaches are revealing bacterial contamination due in part to much more frequent testing and lower levels of tolerance. Urban run-off was the culprit (or suspect, at least) for years until they discovered run-off in "natural" or undeveloped areas had bacterial levels at the same levels. This has been verified at Mission Bay in San Diego and at San Juan Creek in Orange County. So if you spend to control urban run-off problems and nature leaves you with the same pollution what has been gained.

This seems a lot like the global warming issue, where true believers are limiting the scope of the problem to man, that big, rascally, EVIL character.

Does that make it any less a moral stance for them?
It may be moral and it may their deepest and most cherished belief, but that's basicly the same as saying that it is their opinion. They should act upon it for themselves, not for other who are not their charges.

Interesting moral stance in this event from my neck of the woods.

Here again the pressure to conform was so great that extreme nonconformal measures were undertaken by someone so they could better conform in the end.
