The delicate lagoon with her nursery for the game fish and food stuffs that your people love is speaking to you. The runoff from your proposal would kill her. I believe that property values in the area would actually decrease as too many people converge on an area with minimum infrastructure, autos and trucks will jam the one lane road, power outages and water shortages will increase, crime will follow the money. I am saddened by the thought of Belize losing her one thing that sets her apart from all the rest ? her ALIVE land. Please don?t turn the lagoon into what I live near, Galveston Bay. Save her reefs for your children and her beauty for your grandchildren. Grab hold of what you have and hold tight to the sanctuary of nature?your most valuable asset.
