        Will likely make Coyote sailable only at +4 ft (as is the area
                inland of the current runways.)
        Could also affect 3rd Ave and Seal Point.

Safety hazard at Oyster Point: runway with huge rip-rap banks will be
imemdiately downwind.

Proximity to jet exhaust: both as a health and enjoyment hazard.

Occasional violent turbulence (small 40+ knot "twisters") at water level.
