Yes, you are right, money does talk and expansion is an ongoing process BUT wouldn't it be a shame to just allow the destruction of what it was that made Negril so beautiful and special in the first place?? We should not allow such mindless greed to wreak havoc on that which we hold dear without some sort of a fight. The world is running out of beautiful places that are as accessible as Negril. If I want an overbuilt, make believe environment I can go to Disney. Don't get me wrong, I love Disney but it is not what I go to Jamaica for. And it definitely cannot replace the pristine, natural beauty of the Northwest Coast.
Once it is gone, it's gone! There are moves towards green energy being made on the island, which relects the worldwide trend - as slow as that may be. Sandals won an award for being "green." Plus this is not the first time they have made this proposal. The reasons for which it was denied years ago, still apply. Some things should be protected. Make that MUST be protected.
Much Respect & Peace.

First a jetty, then a breakwater, then a cruise ship dock, then maybe a casino boat too.
The future might be closer than most think. Just imagine a wind farm off the beachor maybe a nuke plant in the morass !
You could also look forward to this possibility
This could be the future, depressing for some, exciting for others -->
Bigger-Better-More-More is what most of society wants. Personally, I would love to turn off the lights and regress to the '70's.
