Nice Job Jason. The descriptions were very nice.

The Solidaridad web page says it's Dragomex.. a Mexican company.

Problem is, that sand has got to go somewhere and the only thing out there unfortunately is the reef.

The government has done environmental impact studies on this, so it's all good.

No, it happened that fast last time, Rick, remember? It was within a month it went from nice and wide to worse than ever....so it's possible.
