Hmmmm the powers-that-be behind this expansion project obviously don't give
a damn about the uw tourist potential they could end up destroying in no
time :-(  I know many government officials do the *see no, hear no, tell
no* tap-dance when receiving e-mails so dropping a line to the National
Newspaper may be the go.

While I don't know the area at all I plan to make up for this during our
Cayman NEDfest & may, if John's DPTNST-better-half <g> Brooxie can get
extra time off, stay another couple of days on land to get to know the
place better.

Hope things are not rigged that the Dept of Environment & Marine
Conservation Board get walked over. Shame they can't make it a sanctuary
zone or marine reserve where no development is allowed, no-take zone etc.
