WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The town of Palm Beach said they're removing plants to make room for new ones. However, environmentalists and beach-lovers are worried native plants that make the beach structurally sound are being removed. A man from Palm Beach County said a vital part of Phipps Ocean Park is being stripped bare. He said seagrape plants, a native species, are being removed and it's completely changing the landscape. The town of Palm Beach, which houses the beach park, says they're doing it to make room for new plants.
