. >> my name is margaret goddel. i live in pacifica. i'm an advocate for pacifica and for keeping beach into future. i ask you to consider not merely what people have today, what people want for themselves for the next 10-20 years. but to look at the possible effect that your actions may have on existence of a city and economic survival of the city down the line. if you agree to the negative declaration you very likely are going to be an approving a two pronged attack on pacific a. if you allow more pumping, you may ultimately destroy our rare coastal lagoon. this past summer with extra heat, right now with extra heat, with global warming, the surface water are below that recommended by u.s. fish and wild life. it didn't come up with the rains, it came up to the minimum level and now it's back down again. if the pumping continues as it has, then they will move into that lagoon and it will get smaller. do you want to continue to dredge, continue vegetation. where do you want to put your money in a process that will end up with no lagoon
