Leave the tourists alone! They are here to relax not to be bothered by someone's personal agenda. You would be upset if someone came up and harassed you on your vacation. Don't do it to others!

The government has really handled this appropriately SO FAR.

There is nothing before them presently which can be approved or rejected. The original plan was rejected, and through back channels and informally they were told long ago that it had to be scaled way down. Puerto Azul had already been told what they revealed at Cannes was inappropriate yet they continued.

They are in the process of hiring for an environmental impact assessment. One of the scientists I know may have accepted. If he did he will not be bought. The plan is a complete joke. It does not work environmentally or economically. One can't destroy the mangrove and be sustainable.

The island is not 1200 acres. I doubt they ever had a survey. The island has about 200 acres that is not mangrove or interior lagoon. To dredge for a marina one would have to dredge the entire atoll. Then you destroy it.

Keep the pressure on. The government is listening.

These islands could support something fabulous and intimate, yielding an excellent return on investment with less risk to investment, environment, and health-safety of guests.

I keep looking at the over-water bungalows and think about how noise travels over the water. Then I think about honeymoons. Then I think - OMG and guffaw.

Why not make elevated tree-top bungalows along the shores, connected by walkways - with boardwalks to private kraals in the sea ...... now that would be cool. Guests could be intimate and even spend a little time in the buff. All surrounded by the fabulous nature we treasure as Belize.

Sorry, but these folks are thinking Monte Carlo and missing the amazing natural essence of these islands. They are stepping over diamonds to pick up coal.

And don't even get me started on what it would mean logistically (and financially) to evacuate 3,000 people from an out-island in an hurricane - yikes with yikes sauce.

Right Diane. The project being proposed is a criminal assault on our natural wealth. And it could be approved. They are speculators, not tourists
