The area behind Sueno Del mar is by far the most beautiful and interesting part of the island. Fresh water springs, wild life and underwater cave system are awesome.
I suggest everyone see it quick.
Other than the obvious and usual complains and objections I have for issues like this I also have some confusion about what they are quarrying and why. It implys it would be a substitute for building materials brought in from off the island. The material quarried would be composed of Calcium carbonate and soluble lime rocks not suitable for cement construction,and the only use I can imagine is landscaping, sea wall or road bed material.
Comparing the price of materials brought in from outside the island is a little dubious.
"Well, right now it costs us about $145 per cubic yard to bring materials from Belize City. "
Nothing coming from a quarry on this island is going to compare with the sand and gravel brought in from Belize city, totally an Apple being compared to an orange.
I'm sure this is not a misunderstand by the quarrymen just an intentional misdirection.
