Commenting on the story: Hi-tech help for Granite Island’s little penguins

For goodness sake – you don’t need to be a Rhodes Scholar to come up with a solution.

Firstly, ban all tourists on the island from dusk to dawn. Put up a decent gate to stop people and wild animals going across during those times. Secondly, when numbers have increased, only tourists accompanied by a parks ranger be allowed to observe them with the proper care. – Barrie Turner

Close the causeway at night. – Robert Warn

The Council’s revenue loss would likely be small compared to the increased revenue received during Fringe from all manner of sources. However, the loss of the car parks for six weeks – when parking is enough of a challenge due to increased visitor numbers and other road closures – is probably a cause to seriously weigh up the benefits against the disbenefits. – Tony Dawkins
