The operator has apparently agreed to comply with the requirements, described as 'strict' by most reports, and to limit production to current levels. The lease - within land designated as 'potential wilderness' under the <strong>1976 Point Reyes Wilderness Act</strong>, according to the Commission's Order - is scheduled to expire in <strong>2012</strong>. It is expected that full wilderness status and protection will be commenced at that time.</p>";
var text2      = "<p style='text-align: left; margin:3px;'><strong>Protected!</strong><br />&nbsp;<br />Despite reported claims by the oyster farm operator that kayakers (and <em>hikers</em>?!) cause the greatest disturbances in the Estero, the entire area has actually been <strong>closed to such recreational watercraft</strong> during the pupping season (March to July) in recent times.<br />&nbsp;<br />And, groups such as <strong>BASK</strong> (Bay Area Sea Kayakers) have spearheaded attempts to spread seal-friendly paddling practice among all recreational kayakers and canoers. These efforts have shown clear results.<br />&nbsp;<br />From its mouth on the Pacific to the back of its many coves, this 2000 acre estaury is estimated to be the <strong>birthplace of nearly 20%</strong> of all harbor seals in California. It is shielded from most significant disruption at that time other than the effects of massive aquaculture (<em>300,000 pounds</em> of shucked oysters and a <em>million</em> clams yearly are reported) on 1000 leased acres within it.</p>";
