From time to time I drive past Martha Cove Marina at Safety Beach.

It wasn’t all that long ago a bunch of environmentalists were complaining how Martha Cove Marina would ruin this region of the Mornington Peninsula. They complained about the loss of the little creek that ran through this floodplain and how it would be better off planted out with swamp scrub. Then it could have returned to it’s former glory as a productive estuary.

Now,  it’s a dusty failure.
