Wetlands, in natural state, protect from surges. The loss of St Maarten's wetlands increases loss from hurricanes and storms.
With the passing of Irma, if the developer would like to come into the SXM market then there are plenty of developed and destroyed properties that offer viable redevelopment options. Why are these not pursued.
Little Bay is a treasure for tourists and locals. Very few beaches offer locals an opportunity to the water as the stretch next to Bel Air. For tourists, the native species of coral and fish are making a come-back. This is only made possible because Little Bay is not as over-developed as other beaches.
The next generation of tourists are looking for less developed destinations. They are looking for the St Maarten of the 80s that my in-laws fell in love with, but with accessibility to amenities and high end.
Long-term sustainability of the island as a resort destination hinges on protecting the natural stretches that still exist, and restoration of abandoned parcels to appeal to the new type of tourist coming of age in Europe and the United States.

Consider all existing buildings that have been built and now are empty (Sky Blue Mall, Puerto Cupecoy).

A project with this much impact on the residents of the island should have to be public and possibly even voted on. If this goes through without public approval, it will once again show how the needs of a greedy few outweigh the needs of the general populace. Not to mention the fact that the Chinese government isn't exactly known for being an "equal rights" type of rulership. In my humble opinion...this project would have a negative impact on the island. I, for one, will stop vacationing in St. Maarten if this project proceeds to conclusion.
