St. Maarten Private Eye

One of the reports in the papers, not sure which one, had the site manager saying that the silt and sludge washing into the sea was full of nutrients, not doing any harm to the reef.
Why the newspaper did not question this statement is beyond me. Any scientist or professional in the environmental field will tell you about the damage silt causes to reefs. Does the reporter just not have a clue? It's really an easy job here I guess, just copy down what you are told.
