Lawyers, like kids, can say the darnedest things. Recently there was a hearing in Atlanta regarding an appeal by environmental groups of a permit allowing the Sea Island Company to construct a 350-foot long rock barrier - known as a groin - that would jut out from the island's shoreline. It would create a new beach at the posh resort, and opponents said the project would be detrimental to the local wildlife - particularly endangered sea turtles.
