In case you are not up to speed on what this will mean to have the breakwater built, at the very least it will mean 24 loads a day of boulders being brought into Negril and unloaded near the Burger King downtown. Personally, I cannot picture what all of that activity will do to the congestion and ability to move around tiny Negril. This is projected to take nine months.
From one of the articles: "<Proposal> calls for 24 truckloads of boulders coming into the resort town each day for nine months, bringing a total of 53,280 cubic metres of armour stone - that is 1,881,565 cubic feet. The largest boulders will be between eight and 13 tons each (one ton is 2,240 pounds), and they will require 597,524 cubic feet of this material, while there will be some slightly smaller boulders of five to nine tons each (708,765 cubic feet required).
One side says that the breakwaters will be visible above the water and the other side say they will not be visible. The fact that whether the breakwaters will be visible from the beach above the water cannot even be determined is a serious concern to me. If a project of this magnitude is going to be undertaken, I would think all affected would be clear about what the breakwaters will look like once completed.
