Someone brought this up on the airwaves yesterday. Apparently you'll have to file for a credit on the non-recoverable VAT but filing for credits usually leads to automatic audits of everything so it sounds like a load of fun.
$60 Million you say...wowzers..I'm all for economic stimulus but when the Dept. of Inland Revenue is issuing a shake down on Bahamian businesses while letting 60 million slip away things seem a bit disproportional...
For the most part Florida has a drop-off further away from the beach than us. Previous beach restoration projects in FL I've seen, they suck the sand from offshore through pipes pulling it onto the beach. Since they have a shallow sloping bottom to the ocean, if they've run out of sand they are in trouble.
Sounds like Natural Dune Formation. If you push it back down you make it more susceptible to be sucked out in destructive waves. Problem is everyone has their picture perfect idea of a beach but its not what mother nature wants. You need seaweed, rocks, gravel, and dunes for a proper beach cycle.
Does it really matter at this point in time. We're talking about temporary jobs for the most part. Lets focus on where the VAT $$ is going, why we're spending another $20 million on Clifton cleanup after $10 million was allocated and "somehow" used in Jan 2015. Lets focus on getting a refund on those Christmas Decorations by Arawak Cay.
BTW, if you pay the ransom you better beef up and backup immediately after. These guys are so slick they might just include a hidden time bomb in the decryption key. And once you pay they know you'll probably pay again so you become an attractive target. $18K is a lot more than I've heard in run of the mill instances worldwide.

Compare that to Paradise Island where 1/4 mile offshore the water is 600ft deep. We wouldn't be able to do the same as they do in FL.
