Letter of opposition to the application to remove a reef at Villa

Opposition to the Application by Raffique Dunbar to remove a reef at Villa I write to express my strong objection to the Application published in the newspapers on July 2 2021, submitted by Mr Raffique Dunbar to remove a reef at Greathead Bay, Villa, supported by a document entitled “EIA, Prepared on behalf of SVRE Holdings Inc. for the La Vue Boutique Hotel and Beach Club Beach Restoration, “by Krystle Francis, Environmental Engineer.

Kristal Ambrose, winner of the 2020 Goldman Environmental Prize, somehow convinced the government of The Bahamas to ban single-use plastic bags, plastic cutlery, straws, and styrofoam containers and cups. The ban was announced in April 2018 and, as said, came into effect in January of this year.
