Deforestation Continues

Deforestation continues on the beach at Playa Mosquito. In August a letter was sent to all agencies from CORALations regarding this very concern. Although we are not sure, we believe it is clearing for a private access road and parking for six of the SE Harbor Homeowner Association members that claim private deeded acce$$ to this (public) beach.

Previous plans placed a road and parking lot inside the wetlands! Hey I've heard of selling swamp land in Florida but a private deeded access road and parking lot, in the wetlands and in PR... where all beaches and access are public....this one takes the cake!
Well someone took the cake.... and ran away eating it!

Is this clearing for a road and if so....does the road have permits?

The species losing habitat in this deal are the endangered tree boas, endangered migratory sea birds, migratory birds, birds in general, nesting habitat for the endangered Hawksbill sea turtles, and, of course, the critically endangered public domain.

The good news is there were no diggers on the beach today. There was no uprooting of trees. There were three workers apparently brought in from the big island to clear out tproperty.
