Chivas,
The Summerwind is a very large (@ 100') yacht that anchored inside the reef. The captain did so without permission (this size boat is just too larger for inside the reef) and was eventually asked to take his boat outside the reef. Now, its important to understand that it takes a fairly significant anchor and chain to "anchor" your 100 foot yacht.
The Summerwind proceeded just outside the reef and dropped anchor. My best guess (and this is without any underwater survey gear) from having been on site is that before the Summerwind's Anchor and chain stopped destroying coral and other sealife it had effectively wiped out an area about the size of a U.S. Football field (see there Pedro, another example of uninformed, uneducated americanism). Truly sad and probably irreparable.
Pedro, just FYI, I wish we could get laws like that in the states. In almost all cases, we can't. Hey, what do you know, Belize is ahead of the game.
I stand by my prior posts.
