The picture posted is a picture of the bank in Bimini being filled in to accommodate town homes on a "Millionaire Island". This fill is the by product from the dredging going on. Not only is this project destroying our reefs but it is terminating the banks which every Bahamian knows is vital to the existence of the conch. The land that is seen in the back drop is called East Well. That is where all the land crabs in Bimini spawn. Also found there is sea grapes and coco plums; a Bahamian delight that will only be a myth to future Biminites because Resorts World plan and have been granted approval to put a golf course there! Bimini has been sold out and that's the God'd honest truth! Off course Biminites want progress but not at the expense of our beautiful reefs and diverse ecosystem! Something needs to be done! The Government has turned its back on Bimini a long time ago and they only frequent here seeking to retrieve whatever they can get! Michelle Malcom is paid to say that this is what Bimini wants but there is no benefit here! Most employees work for less than minimum wage and on some pay periods not even paid all that is owed to them over the 2 week span! The only ones benefiting is Resorts World NOT Bimini!
