Hey Barb....Why do they open that canal that runs along the side of The Great Bay Hotel,into the sea??...why don't they just fill it in?

they need to keep it open so they can keep the fresh pond levels down when we have excessive rain..otherwise everything floods.
the problem is that it used to be a natural channel that ebbed and flowed by itself. they built GB where the natural channel was and just left a much smaller opening. Now it's a mess.

They just need to remember to open it BEFORE the flooding happens. Remember what happened last year?
