I was a student that went down to the island a few years ago, and to this day I plan on returning to the island. If the proposed plan does go through, then this island will be ruined by garbage and further commercialization. The resort to date has already damaged some of the rare and pristine area that is in the process of being protected, so that in turn it may protect many species that use it to live and grow. Bringing in excess people and creating further area along the coast for a ferry terminal and dredging will destroy the areas that need protecting. I think that this plan should be halted, and no further action be taken to turn the island into something it's not, as one of the many reasons the island is so attractive is it's laid back appeal. The company creating the resort has no regard for the habitat, or the outlook of the island and the people who live there, and quite frankly this ferry will turn people off from visiting the island and at the same time ruin important habitat for the unique species that use it. This should be stopped, and I hope more people make aware to this situation!
