Have a sweet tooth but don't want to overdo it on sugar? Looking for a new favorite low-sugar dessert? This list of the best low-carb desserts will do the trick!
been surrounded by cake. Yup. My fiancé's birthday was last week, and we
had two parties for him—a celebration with friends during a weekend getaway and then a larger celebration at our home with friends and family. And I may have overestimated how many guests were
attending...we've been giving away leftover cake to every friend we've recently seen!
While I love a good slice of cake (especially the drizzle icing!), I also have a such a sweet tooth that I'd much rather have lower-carb sweet treats so my cravings don't go into overdrive. And of course, I'm always wanting to avoid that post-dessert sugar slump. You may also have a medical condition, such as type 2 diabetes, or be following a specific diet that lends itself to low-carb desserts. For your next birthday blowout, dinner party, or just-because treat, add a few of these lower-sugar desserts to the treat table. Looking for more healthy entertaining recipes?
9 Surprisingly Low-Carb
Yes, even cheesecakes, cookies, and pudding can be made low carb! My go-to low-sugar dessert is included in this Everyday Health article, and I can't wait to try the other dietitian-approved desserts. Some of these recipes are even foods with no added sugar. Curious about which fruits have the least sugar? Psst...I also love a prune jam with brie and cantaloupe ice cream.
8 Mouthwatering Low-Carb Brownie
While standard brownies rely on sugar and butter to yield that melt-in-your-mouth texture, these healthier alternatives do the trick, too. By adding in creamy healthy fats like almond butter and avocado, you'll find ultra-moist, lower-sugar sweet treats (including a go to low-sugar dessert!) on this Everyday Health list that also happen to provide a slew of extra nutrients. Are you an ice cream fan? You may enjoy my healthier chocolate nice cream, which is a tasty way to cut down on total sugar intake.
Amy's Recipe of the Week: Almond Butter Protein
When you need a small piece of something sweet to help you get through the work day, turn to my chewy energy balls. These bite-sized, chocolatey treats offer plenty of protein, fiber, and healthy fat to keep you full until your next meal—all in just 180 calories per treat. Now break out that mixing bowl, stat! My vanilla smoothie is also plenty sweet without any added sugar.

I am delighted to provide this professional reference for Red Storm Design.
Emily assisted our new charity with an insightful understanding what we were after with our rebranding.
We had to redesign our brand imagery and capture both the previous heart and soul of the brand but also create a new, fresh and professional concept. We were delighted with the ideas and one in particular will now symbolise our Building Angels Charity into the future. Her service was fantastic and she was very flexible with us as we navigated this change together. We would recommend any company to use Red Storm Design.
- Annalisa Haskell, Director Building Angels (Australia)
I asked Red Storm Design to help me with historical southern resorts opt in. It was a mess when I started. Emily Fleming listened to what I needed when I told her that the copy was good but I needed the design to be much better. I really liked her ideas and loved the fact that she went out of her way to find typefaces that matched the time period of my piece. I found my experience with Emily very easy. She was easy to talk to and work with, and followed my suggestions perfectly. I recommend Emily at Red Storm Design to people who need a jam up opt in that will bring people into your list. She will help make you successful.
- Marsanne Petty
Emily did some work on a corporate xmas card for me. Her attention to detail and contribution of ideas went above and beyond what would be expected. Definitely give Red Storm Design a try next time you need a design.
- Mark Hamilton, owner of Cover Yours
We recently engaged Emily to help us with a one-off, bespoke piece of signage. This was a fairly unique concept, measuring some 1100mm x 960mm and, as it's for the Fieldays, needed to be 'just right' to catch the eye of passing foot traffic, ie not too scant on detail while not overly wordy.
Emily spent some time with us to ensure she understood the remit. Within 24 hours, Emily provided a proof that improved the original mockups we had been working on. Emily took it up a level – all within the 1-hour time quoted.
Emily was friendly and professional. We would happily use her services again.
- Ruth Arand, Paratronics Developments Limited
It has been a pleasure working with Emily, lots of great ideas and I love Emily's collaborative approach. I am looking forward to working on my next project
with Emily!
- Cory, JHD Ltd
I engaged Emily's help after scratching my head many times, realising I knew nothing about designing logos. Emily was very helpful and professional. After our first meeting, I was confident she understood what I needed. A couple more meetings and job was complete. I have no hesitation recommending Emily to any of my friends and colleagues. I wish her all the best in her future endeavours.

Planning a family? Ask the expert
Family planning is the voluntary planning and action taken by individuals to prevent, delay or achieve a pregnancy. Family planning services include counseling and education, preconception care, screening and laboratory tests, and family planning methods. Family planning methods include abstinence, natural family planning and all FDA approved methods.
Why is family planning part of the health department?
The Centers for Disease Control characterizes family planning as one of the top 10 public health achievements of the 20th century. In 1800, women had an average of 7 children; today women average 2.1 children. A woman is fertile for an average of 35 years of her life; if she has two children, she will spend about 30 years of her life avoiding pregnancy. Family planning information and services help individuals maintain their overall health and improve family and community health by supporting men and women to have children when their health, financial conditions, and personal situations are optimal. Access to family planning services is an important factor in planning for healthy pregnancies.
What is unintended pregnancy?
An unintended pregnancy is one that is unwanted or mistimed at the time of conception. It does not mean an unwanted birth or an unloved child. It does mean that there is less opportunity for the parents to prepare physically and financially, take advantage of pre-pregnancy risk identification and management, and initiate needed changes in diet, exercise, smoking and drinking that help ensure a healthy pregnancy.
Why is unintended pregnancy a problem?
For some, unintended pregnancies result in healthy children in happy families. For others there are negative health effects from late or inadequate prenatal care, low birth weight, fetal exposure to alcohol, tobacco smoke and other toxins, and maternal depression. Unintended pregnancies are also associated with economic hardship, marital dissolution, poor child health and development, spouse abuse, and child abuse and neglect. Almost half of all unintended pregnancies end with an induced abortion.
How can we reduce the incidence of unintended pregnancy?
A woman's ability to avoid an unintended pregnancy is related to her level of risk for pregnancy, her choice of methods, the strength of her motivation to avoid pregnancy and her pattern of contraceptive use. These factors, in turn, are often associated with a woman's demographic and socioeconomic background, characteristics of her sexual partnerships, and her experiences with and attitudes toward pregnancy and contraception. While slightly more than half of unintended pregnancies occur among women who were not using any method of contraception in the month they conceived; more than four in 10 occur among women who were using a contraceptive method the month they conceived. Issues related to inconsistent or incorrect use of method were the primary reason they conceived. Research indicates that the most effective birth control method is the method the client is the most comfortable with. Client understanding of various methods and comfort with the one they choose is best accomplished with non-directive counseling and education and from a family planning provider that they trust. Family planning providers aim at increasing the percentage of clients who use their chosen method consistently and correctly.

This article continues the series begun in the March 1986 Bulletin and last updated in the November 1991 Bulletin. From the November 1988 Bulletin it has been combined with the long-standing series of articles on the national debt and its distribution. It has been compiled with the help of the Central Statistical Office and others.
The main points are:
- The net debt of the public sector and market holdings of the national debt both rose in 1991/92, by around £14 billion and £16 billion respectively.
- In relation to GDP, these measures increased by between one and two percentage points.
- General government gross debt had risen to 35.5% of GDP at end-March 1992.
The net debt of the public sector: end-March 1992

Practice Areas
Legislative Update: Enforcement, Trade Deficits, Footwear, Cuba
Trade Enforcement. The Jobs and Trade Competitiveness Act (introduced May 26 by Rep. Pascrell, D-N.J.) would heighten trade enforcement efforts, discourage foreign outsourcing, and encouraging domestic insourcing in the following ways.
- provide a 20 percent tax credit that U.S. businesses could use for costs associated with moving a production line, trade, or business located overseas back to the U.S.
- disallow the tax deduction companies can currently take for costs associated with outsourcing
- enable the Department of Commerce to impose countervailing duties to offset the impact of currency manipulation on a U.S. industry
- establish a non-partisan congressional office to investigate barriers to U.S. exports, develop complaints against foreign countries, and press the executive branch to take action
- ensure that the Trade Enforcement Trust Fund is provided with mandatory funding to be used to crack down on unfair trade, including violations of environmental and labor provisions in trade agreements
- establish an independent commission to advise Congress on whether the World Trade Organization has manifestly expanded or diminished the rights and obligations of the U.S. under an international trade agreement
- create a chief manufacturing negotiator to ensure that U.S. trade policy promotes domestic manufacturing by determining negotiating positions and enforcement strategy
- create a chief trade prosecutor who would be the new leader within the executive branch for ensuring that trading partners live up to their obligations
- require the Government Accountability Office to systematically and regularly review U.S. enforcement efforts in international fora such as the G-20 and the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue
- require U.S. Customs and Border Protection to facilitate the exchange of information among interested parties in antidumping and countervailing duty evasion investigations
- establish congressional advisory groups on enforcement
- require the GAO to review efforts to enforce a 2016 law that closed a loophole allowing goods made using forced labor to enter the U.S.
- provide more legal support during WTO disputes
- require the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to identify trade enforcement priorities and enhance consultation with Congress on enforcement actions
Trade Deficits. H.R. 2734 (introduced May 25 by Rep. Slaughter, D-N.Y) would require the Department of Commerce to address the trade deficits between the U.S. and other countries. Although no information has yet been made available about this legislation, Slaughter introduced a measure in October 2016 entitled the Trade Deficit Reduction Act. That bill would have required the White House to identify the countries with which the U.S. has the worst trade deficits and develop plans of action to address those deficits, with strict deadlines and oversight from Congress. The Trump administration is already moving to take similar steps.
The Balancing Trade Act (H.R. 2766, introduced May 30 by Rep. Kaptur, D-Ohio) would require the president to take the necessary steps to create a more balanced trading relationship with countries with which the U.S. runs annual trade deficits of $10 billion or more for three consecutive years.
Footwear. H.R. 2735 (introduced May 25 by Reps. Smith, R-Neb., and Blumenauer, D-Ore.) would make certain footwear eligible for duty-free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences for the first time. The American Apparel and Footwear Association estimates that such a change would save companies about $57 million in import duties per year that could then be used to support U.S. workers, invest in product innovation, and lower prices for consumers.
Cuba. Amid reports that the Trump administration is considering a shift away from the Obama administration's policy of easing relations with Cuba, the Freedom to Export to Cuba Act (S. 1286, introduced May 25 by Sen. Klobuchar, D-Minn.) would lift the U.S. trade embargo against that country. A press release from Klobuchar's office states that this legislation would repeal the current legal restrictions against doing business with Cuba, including the original 1961 authorization for establishing the trade embargo, subsequent laws that required enforcement of the embargo, other restrictive statutes that prohibit transactions between U.S.-owned or -controlled firms and Cuba, and limitations on direct shipping between U.S. and Cuban ports. The bill would not, however, repeal portions of law that address human rights or property claims against the Cuban government.

One of the biggest obstacles facing the marijuana industry is banking. The federal government has not yet signaled that they will allow banks and credit unions to work with marijuana businesses. The feds have said that they are 'considering' it, but the federal government is 'considering' a lot of things that they never intend to follow up on. If banks are willing to work with the marijuana industry, and the marijuana industry wants to use banks and credit unions, why should the federal government stand in the way?
I worked at a large Oregon credit union for two years. If there is one thing that I remember from those days is that financial institutions are ALWAYS looking for new customers. How many times have you gone to a bank or credit union and they are running promotions to 'sign up a friend'? Or they badger you to sign up for a credit card, or open up another account? I guarantee on the face of things banks and credit unions are like 'yeah, we will work with them.' But their true feelings are more like, 'hell yes, we want every dollar they want to bring in!'
Some quotes that I found interesting, from an article on Herald Net:
"We survive in our community and we prosper in our community by providing banking services," said Denny Eliason, lobbyist for the Washington Bankers Association, which represents nearly all of the state's 93 banks. "It is not a matter of do we want to offer these services. We're eager to but we're not willing because there is too much at stake."
"Our hands are tied," said David Curtis, director of compliance services for the Northwest Credit Union Association, which has 104 members in Washington. "Until we can get some official guidance, everybody is in a holding pattern."
"We're all talking. So much is in the hands of our federal counterparts," said Scott Jarvis, director of the state's Department of Financial Institutions. "Having all that cash running around doesn't really provide the kind of safe environment the Attorney General has said he wants to see."
There is a bill in Congress that would resolve the banking issue. HR 2652, The Marijuana Business Access to Banking Act of 2013, would change federal banking rules and would allow marijuana businesses acting in compliance with state law to use banking services. If you haven't contacted your federal Representative yet about this issue, you should do so now.

Come on, play your part this Earth Hour
Here is a call to action worth considering.
Earth Hour is a global call to protect the planet and to stand up against climate change.
Having started in Australia in 2007, the event has since grown in leaps and bounds. South Africans began observing the hour from 2009, ahead of climate change talks in Copenhagen.
Last year, on March 19, Earth Hour South Africa says 178 countries and territories participated in the event and more than 400 landmarks were switched off as well.
March 25
Every year, Earth Hour is observed on the last Saturday of March. People around the globe take a collective stand for an hour of the day – it is an hour where people share their concerns, hopes and dreams for the planet.
This year, play your part on Saturday, March 25. Switch off your lights between 8.30 and 9.30pm and talk climate change with your family and friends.
Earth Hour South Africa encourages us to say yes to renewable energy in South Africa. It's something worth taking seriously – and every voice counts. If you're serious about saving our planet visit Earth Hour South Africa and sign the petition.
Have beach picnic this Earth Hour
Here's a novel way to mark Earth Hour this year. Pack a picnic basket, blankets and torches and head down to Willard Beach in Ballito for a Beach Picnic. This Saturday, reflect on your impact on the planet as you enjoy the cool breeze off the Indian Ocean.
The picnic takes place from 5-10pm at Ballito Willard Beach. No swimming will be permitted, but it still promises to be a great evening on the beach.
For more information visit the Beach Picnic Facebook page.

A KICKOFF BREAKFAST was held recently to recognize 43 area students who were selected for the 2019 Grundy County Internship Program.
Morris Hospital held a kickoff breakfast to formally recognize and congratulate the 43 students selected for the 2019 Grundy County Internship Program.
Nikki Wills, Business Director of the GEDC opened the event by thanking the businesses, students, and educators in attendance.

Lee challenged students to take advantage of the opportunity, while Murphy-Frobish addressed the value of the program to local businesses taking part in the program.
Senator Rezin emphasized that the students should take pride in being chosen for this opportunity, and that the internships offer a chance to gain meaningful professional work experience and learn more about the many different employment options within Grundy County.

When I was younger and seemed to be always trying to lose weight in one way or another, it was all about how I looked, not how I felt. Since turning 30, things have changed. Like caring about what size jeans I am buying, and eating "healthy" (or nothing) for the sole purpose of losing weight. Now, I care about my heath. My heart. My blood pressure. Yes, losing weight is cool, but I want to put foods in my body that will make me healthy.
The Blood Sugar Solution by Mark Hyman, MD is totally advertised as a weight loss diet because that's what grabs people's attention, but I don't see it that way. I see it as a way for people to change their lives around. Those headed for diabetes town can turn that train right around (I've seen it happen). So instead of thinking of it as a diet, let's think about it as eating to NOT get sick. And Dr. Hyman tells you everything you need to eat to accomplish this goal in his six-week healthy-living program.
Yes. It's more work. You'll be going to the grocery store more frequently to stock up on veggies. Yes. supplements are expensive. But I guarantee all of your co-pays cost more.

To write in silence is to miss the gentle nuance of music pushing you to deepen the scene with the strings of grief playing somewhere to your left. To be silent is to trap all of your misshapen ideas inside yourself. To be silent is to be unheard.
We are writers, not ghosts moaning from the afterlife in need of one soul willing to hear them. Write loudly. Write with the expectation that someone will read your story, your idea, and have a life changing moment because of it.
Ignore the "professionals" and write like your life depends on it. Tell everyone around you about the characters clawing at the edges of your mind.
This is your chance to be heard, to make a difference, to leave your mark on the world, so do it loudly.

Write an essay based on the following chart. In your writing, you should
1) interpret the chart, and
2) give your comments.
You should write about 150 words on ANSWER SHEET. (15 points)
Number (Million)
As can be seen from the bar chart above, the number of university students who started their own business has increased markedly from 2003 to 2015. Based on the statistics given above, the number was only about 7.5 million in 2003, and it jump up to more than 20 million in 2015.
Some driving factors that contribute to the above mentioned change may be summarized as follows. First, once they start their own undertakings, the young will not go to compete with others in terms of seeking a job and instead, they can provide some job opportunities for others. In addition, the self-employed students are the masters of their own destiny and exposed to many more uncertainties and setbacks, they will develop perseverance, stamina and the indomitable spirit that are indispensable to all the great entrepreneurs.
To conclude, this trend will definitely continue in the future as predicted, which will have some great and positive effects on students, society and our nation. I hope an increasing number of youngsters can set up their own businesses and make their contribution to our motherland.

Happy New Year to you beautiful party people 🎉 You do know that I've got nothing but love for you, right? It is definitely not with a negative, grinch-like spirit that I write this blog post to you…[spacer height="20px"]
Can you tell what exactly it is about new things that bring new hope and a renewed faith in us all? I, personally, admire the sort-of positive outlook that (what seems like) the whole world instantly has on the first day of a new year. No seriously, we all seem to believe that the new days brought by the new year equal new opportunities for new achievements just waiting for us to claim them. I love it – it's as if, for one moment in time we are all optimists ✊🏾
Now imagine carrying that same outlook with you for the rest of the year, wouldn't that just be great? But wait, just having this great outlook on life isn't enough to make your dreams come true – you are aware of this, right? You know how they say teamwork makes the dream work? Yeah, well I strongly believe that you (the individual) are the first 'team' you need to first build up. "Aphsie, you cray – what do you mean?", you might ask – well…
What I mean is that in order to be a successful dream chaser, one has to do a group of things as opposed to just one:[spacer height="20px"]
DREAM – dare to have a dream, turn it into a vision, have a plan and then break it down to real-life, attainable goals. I would suggest you dream big, the 'how-to' will come in through your attainable goals ✔[spacer height="20px"]
BELIEVE – once you've declared your dream, turned it into your vision and have set out your goals; believe that you can do this! Because you really can, when it comes to living out your dreams it's mind over matter ✔[spacer height="20px"]
ACHIEVE – just by believing that you can do it, you are steadily propelling yourself to reach your goals and (in the long run) achieve your dreams ✔[spacer height="20px"]
Guys, growth is gradual – if you put in the necessary work (little by little) you will definitely see the progress 💯[spacer height="20px"]
This is a definite way to mind your own business and become a pro at adulting 👌🏾Are you feeling positive for the new year? Do you have any resolutions and plans on how to crush them? Leave a comment below and let's converse 💬[spacer height="20px"]
Yours in ✍🏾

Folding and Pushing with AQ
First Sit-N-Go of the day, my usual $1 single table NL affair and I only make 5th place. I put this squarely down to the play of AQ, I held it twice and lost a huge amount of money each time, firstly indirectly by folding the best hand, and then later on directly by pushing all-in into kings.
Here, with AQ in early position I decided to simply call the big blind, as it was the first level and I judged it to be too early to push the action with a potentially dominated hand. Theres one more caller behind me and then a large raise to around 12xBB and I fold without hesitation.
This is pretty standard for me, being so early, however I'm realizing I'm loosing money in situations like this, more so with AJ, but still, if I'm loosing money with AQ its something I should address.
My first thought of improvement comes from the fact that when I limp in with AQ, I'm often happy to call a modest raise, maybe not here being at the very first level and being in early position, but otherwise it wouldn't be too far fetched for me to call a 3 or 4xBB raise with AQ. Now, as we all know you need a stronger hand to call a raise with then you do to open with a raise, so by reversing that argument, if I'm willing to call a modest raise with AQ I should be willing to open with a modest raise with AQ suited or unsuited (I'll always raise with AQs).
Now, the blinds are up to 75/150. I'm in the big blind facing a minimum raise from the button and I re-raise all-in.
My thoughts on the hand where pretty simple here, I could have called, but didn't want to be forced off my hand on the flop and be left with only around enough for 6 orbits, and with the blinds up in two minutes I wouldn't even have that. I'm also aware that I haven't played a hand for a long time, and certainly haven't raised or re-raised, and at the same time may of the players had started to open with modest raises pre-flop often with mediocre hands. So I could either have the best hand or could benefit from my tight image and get a middle pair to fold, it felt like a good spot to push, so I did.

Residents across Sydney will soon have access to new playgrounds, walking trails, and cycleways as part of a $19 million transformation of government-owned land.
The upgrades are the next phase of the NSW Liberals & Nationals Government's $50 million commitment in the 2019-20 Budget to create new and improved open spaces.
Planning and Public Spaces Minister Rob Stokes said communities in Beaumont Hills, Kogarah and Frenchs Forest are next in line to benefit from the investment.
"We want everyone in Greater Sydney to have better access to high-quality open space, given the significant benefits it brings to health and wellbeing," Mr Stokes said.
Improvements will include $9 million for walking tracks and bike trails in Frenchs Forest; $6 million for a new running track or playground at Kempt Field in Kogarah; and $4 million to add nature trails to open space at Withers Road in Beaumont Hills, as well as pathways between Smalls Creek and Caddies Creek.
Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the remaining $31 million will be used to upgrade open space in Appin, Ermington, Hurstville, Leppington and Penrith.
"We are also investing $100 million to buy land across the State that will be transformed into parks and playgrounds for communities to enjoy," Mr Perrottet said.
The announcement of park upgrades coincides with the release of the Greater Sydney Outdoor Survey, which found residents want open spaces that are free, inclusive, and able to be used for activities including walking, picnics, and barbeques.
Mr Stokes said the findings of the survey would help inform how money under the Strategic Open Spaces program will be spent.
"Sydneysiders love the outdoors – whether it be running, hiking, cycling or relaxing at the park with family and friends, so this funding will go a long way to maintaining and improving that lifestyle," Mr Stokes said.

Webkinz Rare=Monday Oct 29=1pm=Kings Guard Armor $1875=5pm=Ultimate Experiment Station $2875
I walk in to Arte's Curio Shop at lunch time, my stomach growling uncontrollably. I'll admit it, I'm hungry!
Arte greets me with the "My shop is your shop", as always and I walk up to the counter.
It looks like Arte is taking his first bite of Nuggetdog Megaroni!
I try not to stare while he takes his second bite.
"Mmmm..... That hits the spot!" he says, taking a sip of Cream Soda.
I'm so hungry, I can barely keep myself from grabbing the plate and chowing down on it myself!
I try to make small talk.
"How's business, Arte? Had some good rares lately, are you raking it in?" I ask him.
"Yep, I am I am, Merthyn! With the fall festival, I knew a lot of people would be around Webkinz World, so I put up some good rares to get 'em into my shop!" he says, then takes another bite of the Megaroni. It's nearly half gone, now.
I can't help it, I make something up.
"Hey Arte, you know how you have the Medieval Dining Chair today?" my stomach growls when I mention the word "dining".
"Well, I can't remember if those have a crest on the back, do they?" I ask him.
"I.. Hmm... That's a good question, Merthyn, I can't remember either. Let me go grab one and we can take a look!" he says, heading off to the Medieval room.
"Oll wai hee" I say, stuffing my mouth full of his Nuggetdog!
Two minutes later, Arte comes back with the chair.
"No crest, Merthyn, you see on the bac--MERTHYN!" Arte shouts, looking right at me.
"Did you eat my lunch?" he growls.
"No... Umm... Of course not..." I try to fib without squirming.
"Then why is there a piece of macaroni hanging from your bottom lip?" he asks.
"What? No, I mean.... Oh no!! I'm so sorry Arte!!" I say, wiping the macaroni from my lip, knowing I'd been caught.
"I'm just so hungry, because I haven't had money to buy any food. I've been too busy catching leaves that I've been too tired to do my job, and I've spent everything I have stocking up on Halloween furniture before it disappears from the W Shop!!" I tell him.
"It's okay, Merthyn. Ya coulda asked, I woulda given you a whole one!" he says, chuckling.

I'm excited to share a small project I worked on last year with the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI), based in Portland, ME.
I'm used to working with education clients, but GMRI is unique. They manage to blend their missions of performing world-class science and cultivating scientific literacy, all while working with Maine's coastal communities whose economies rely on Maine's coastal fisheries.
The institute's facility stands along a stretch of Portland's working waterfront. It's a busy stop for fifth-grade schoolchildren from around Maine who experience the hands-on, high-tech lab known as LabVenture. Meanwhile, researchers collect samples of acquatic life in Casco Bay, do cutting-edge research on the marine ecosystem, and work with fishermen, retailers, restaurateurs and others whose livelihood depends upon the health of the coastal waters.
