The park will provide a variety of uses year-round with ecology and education central themes. A reef will be built, and the park will be designated into zones of "passive" and "active" relating to the amount of human activity.

Famous quotes containing the word today:

    In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.
    Philippe Ariés (20th century)

    Even today a crude sort of persecution is all that is required to create an honorable name for any sect, no matter how indifferent in itself.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    What we’re saying today is that you’re either part of the solution or you’re part of the problem.
    Eldridge Cleaver (b. 1935)
