Environmentalists have been dissatisfied with the fact that fines are viewed as the cost of doing business in a part of the water where a third of the shoreline is already walled off. 'We have to stop the bleeding,' Dave Herrera of the Puget Sound Partnership said. 'What I see is a lot of entitlement.'
