Protecting Stratford's Beach for the Rats and the Drunken Boat Parties

Some folks in Stratford don’t want the town to sell a strip of beach on Long Island Sound to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (background here) because they’re afraid it will lead to less public access. But if one visitor's observations are accurate, less access might be a good thing:

"I walk that peninsula four or five times a week and it's being destroyed by an infestation of rats, people driving ATVS and drunken boat parties. It's out of control and the best solution would be to sell the property to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service."
