Not sure about that
Flipper | Wed, 2007-07-11 16:02
I went snorkling with a friend there about 1 year ago, I do not recall that the beach was piled up with rocks as shown in the pictures above. I believe that heavy equipment has been on the beach scraping up the rocks and piling them up against the bank. I recall that the beach after Luis was somewhat like the one at Barbaron, patches of sand and lots of rocks.
This may well be part of a plan to replenish the beach, but I would like to know more about it. It would seem that they are following the advice you give, to scrap the beach clear of rocks and to see how much sand comes back. I would like to know that what is going on has been properly thought out, by people who are qualified and have experience with same.
It would be very interesting to learn who exactly is giving environmental advice to the developer and what that advice is. Also, that road they made is clealry too close to the shore and I also wonder what those boulders have been placed by the water for, do they plan to build something there?
