Diane ..why do you say the timing is bad? ..just curious

You have to be clear that the project is for over 7000 rooms,plus casino and multiple outbuildings. It will utterly destroy the marine reserve,the reef, and hence the economy of the island.Of course there are protesters . They are being paid by the developer and have said so. This design has been drawn up by someone who is either crazy or does not care at all that this project will destroy the island. It never should have even been considered.

The Ambergris Caye Citizens for Sustainable Development's mission is to support and promote sustainable development on Ambergris Caye and in its surrounding area through education, awareness and citizen involvement. Sustainable development meets the needs of the present while protecting and enhancing natural resources without compromising the livelihood of this and future generations.

We currently have over 300 members from all sections of the Ambergris Caye population. Our current goal is to build our membership so that we can continue to support the Ambergris Cayes planning committees decision not to approve the South Beach Development.

The South Beach Development are already breaking the Environmental Compliance plan that was signed on the 16th Feb 2009. It states"4.07 The Performance Bond shall be submitted to the DOE thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of any development activity". On Tuesday 17th Feb 2009 South Beach started dumping sand inside the development to construct roads and cutting mangroves to run survey lines. As of Wednesday 18th Feb 2009 this bond had not been paid by South Beach. The DOE have been informed of this breach and we are awaiting their response.

Please email accsdbz@gmail.com for further questions. We have another meeting on Wednesday 25th at the Lions Den. To view the video we produced, that was shown on San Pedro channel 7 showing dated footage of the bird and fish life within the South Beach area go to

excerpt from the SBB email, received on 2/17/09:

"Construction has begun. "

Why do the message board administrators allow discussion about this development while frequently cutting off discussions about other developments? I read just as much mudslinging about this development and developer and yet the administrators choose to let it go on. All topics should be treated equally. I wish Marty would clarify.

I think it is because JP sells his own project and all others use realtors

perhaps some developments stand to hurt only unwary investors, where the hurt of some other developments runs significantly deeper, and in more ways than one.

just a hunch.

It's been a while since I've lived there, but it is very surprising that a developer can project to make any money right now on anything. I was under the impression that there are a lot of incomplete projects already, and have been for some time. I guess I'm just jealous that there apparently are still a lot of people out there who can afford beach-front property.
