Beach going was not always a thing. Beach tourism developed gradually in modernity and really became what it is today in the twentieth century…

Beaches are places of nature that the human has occupied because of his vanity. Human impact on beaches has only been detrimental. Beaches are actually the breeding ground for turtles, seals, crabs, birds… human presence disrupts this, and yet the beach is something humans can do without. There is a lot of habitat loss going on in the World due to human activity such as urban growth and agriculture.

I don’t know if I have made it known but I am a huge tree hugger, and getting more bigoted with age. I am into this thing called Rewilding, that is the recreation of natural habitats, and the reintroduction of species into it. It is my contention that humans have been taking from nature for the last twelve thousand years and the time has come to give something back. I am personally planting a personal forest around my house. This shall serve as habitat for the birds and prevent erosion of the soil. It will also provide me with fire wood from the felled trees.

Humans don’t belong to the beach, the beaches belong to the seals…

The Sea Lion is a confident animal that lives in large packs but the Mediterranean Monk Seal is a more timid animal, and would not occupy a beach this brazenly. It needs our help, like fucking off the beach and swimming in a man made pool.

The sea is not a hospitable place and the humans do not belong there. My neighbor was in Turkey recently and got bit by a fish when swimming in the sea. People step on urchins. Medusa infestation is common, my relative was in Thailand on holiday and he said the beach was all closed because of it. This is the sea telling the humans to BTFO!

Humans should generally BTFO from nature altogether. Forest is not ours, mountain is not hours, river is not ours, the sea is not ours. I can accept river and sea transport of goods, although there are alternatives sometimes. I can accept fishing, I like fish. Release the bears and the wolves and keep out of the woods like in the days of old. Demarcate a world of men, and the preserve of nature.
