AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums The Cayes Environment Over 100 workers of South Beach protest

I am VERY open to correct answers.

Let me ask a couple of rebuttal questions now.

How could anyone know or guarantee that slit from dredgeing on the west side esp. in the currently proposed or under development sites to the south-west of town will not make it's way to the reef. Have you swam in Boca Chica before? Let me tell you, that current can be impressive at times.

Aren't some of the west side developments on "wet lands"?

Do mangrove and wild life live on the west side?

Wouldn't it be nice to have the option to walk to the Marco site?
Wouldn't that be another "sustainable" tourist attraction?
While working on my property I have had more than one set of tourists stop and ask directions to the site. I just point toward the brush and say "good luck, I couldn't get to it even with my GPS".

Who gets to decide what businesses / developments are "sustainable"?

There's an "ice cream shop" in town that I visited last week. I asked for strawberry but the worker informed me that they had only one flavor. That doesn't seem very sustainable to me but it's was and I guess still is open.

It just seems unjust to sell land to an individual but then tell that individual they can't build on their own land. If the town, central government, local people wanted this area to be a preserve then they should have purchased it and designated it as such.

Does this group prefer to see no further developments of any type?
