The site was mainly chosen for the unique color of the water not for its location in a "wild natural space." There are pipes already sticking out of the ground by the jetty, there's an abandoned trailer not far away, and plenty of trash laying around, so what if this just one more step in the "entropic" fate of the area? It survived all those years underwater, perhaps it will survive this too. Saying the Spiral Jetty is endanger seems misleading.
