What water, wetland protection is all about
"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.

Eric was undoubtedly Milwaukee's greatest lakefront public access champion for the last couple of decades. Plus his tips on where the fish were hitting were always true. Rest in peace, Eric.
Thanks for posting this James.
Mr. Skindzelewski sounds like my kind of person & activist and one we should all admire.
