Can you give me some useful advice about protecting this resource, the sink
that would be overrun by every diver in the neighborhood?  I'm not hiding
it from anyone who needs the info to help make our case for proper resource
management and you know that.I'm not hiding it from anyone who's
responsible about property rights or privacy either. In fact I've shared it
with friends who I know well enough to have such confidence in and invited
divers more qualified than I and my dive buddies to do the deep stuff.

 But I certainly can't afford to put up a 12 ft. fence, alarm system, and
spotlights. The owners are as interested in all this fascinating cave
business as you and I are, and are not of the Kurtin mode, not to worry.
They simply have no idea how bad traffic, damage, etc. can get at a known
sink and their privacy would be really threatened. and I don't want them to
find out the hard way. Any thoughtful and practical would be welcomed and
greatly appreciated.
