Chris, you might be right about the reef (still) recovering the hurricane seven years ago, with (60) hours of silt and sand churning. Will you be able to say the same thing about hours and hours, day after day of this churning silt? This will be going right thru the cut in Hol Chan. (since they are right in front of it) How long do you think the marine life will stick around in this murky crap? Do you have a background in Marine biology? I certainly don't. Maybe we can get someone more qualified than you or I to do a study and give us their professional opinion. (just a thought)
